A step-by-step guide for sellers ready to get more value from every listing

You have an item to sell. You know it is worth good money. But after listing it as a fixed price, you wait. And wait. The right buyer never shows up at the price you want.

Here is the thing: some items sell faster and for more money when buyers compete for them. That is exactly what the auction feature on Paseero is designed for. Instead of guessing a price and hoping, you set a starting bid and let demand drive the final number.

This guide walks you through the full process: from downloading the app to getting your first auction live in minutes.

Step 1: Download Paseero from the Google Play Store

Paseero is free to download and available on Android. Head to the Google Play Store, search for Paseero, and install the app. It takes under a minute.

 

Tip: Paseero is escrow-powered

Every transaction on Paseero uses escrow (a payment protection system where funds are held safely until both buyer and seller confirm the deal). As a seller, this means buyers trust your listings more because their money is protected.

 

Step 2: Create Your Account (Takes Less Than 60 Seconds)

Once the app is open, tap Sign Up. You have two options:

  • Sign up with your email address
  • Sign up with your Google account (new feature) - one tap, no password to remember

The Google sign-in option is the fastest way to get started. One button, and you are in.

Got a Referral Code?

If someone invited you to Paseero, enter your referral code on the sign-up screen. Do not skip this step as you can only apply it at sign-up.

Once registered, you are set up and ready to sell.

Step 3: Post Your Ad and Select the Auction Format

This is where the auction begins. Follow these steps exactly:

  1. Tap Post Ad from your dashboard or home screen.
  2. Review the Ad Rules - Paseero will prompt you to confirm you have read and agreed to the platform rules. Tick and continue.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions - you will be guided through adding your item details step by step.
  4. When prompted to choose a listing type, select Auction instead of Classified. This is the key step that activates competitive bidding.
  5. Complete the remaining fields - item title, photos, description, condition, starting bid price, and auction duration.
  6. Submit your listing - your item goes live and buyers can start placing bids immediately.

Classified vs Auction: What is the difference?

Classified = fixed price listing. You set the price; a buyer accepts or moves on.

Auction = competitive bidding. Buyers compete, and the final price is often higher than what you would have set yourself.

 

Why Use Auctions Instead of Fixed Price Listings?

Auctions work especially well for:

  • Items with high demand where buyers will compete (phones, laptops, sneakers, collectibles)
  • Used items where you are unsure of the exact market value
  • Sellers who want faster sales rather than waiting for a single buyer to agree on price
  • Items with unique or limited availability

When multiple buyers want the same item, the price rises. With a fixed listing, you leave that extra money on the table. With an auction, the market decides the real value.

Tips to Get More Bids and Sell at a Higher Price

A live auction is only as strong as the listing behind it. Use these to maximise your results:

  • Use clear, well-lit photos from multiple angles. Blurry images kill bids.
  • Write an honest, specific description. Include brand, model, condition, and any accessories.
  • Set a realistic starting bid, not too high. Lower starting bids attract more initial bidders and drive competition.
  • Choose your auction duration wisely. Shorter windows (24 to 48 hours) can create urgency. Longer windows (5 to 7 days) give more buyers time to find your listing.
  • Respond quickly to questions from potential bidders. Fast responses build trust and keep buyers engaged.
