How to sell
Post your first ad on Kamafo and sell it safely, step by step.
Step 1: Create your account
Tap Account and sign up. Then add and verify your phone number in Account > Phones so buyers can trust you.
Step 2: Tap Post Ad and pick a category
Tap Post Ad and choose the category that best matches your item. The right category helps buyers find you.
Step 3: Take good photos
Use daylight and a clean background. Show the item from several angles, including any marks or damage. Photos must show the real item.
Step 4: Write a clear title and description
Say exactly what it is, for example brand, model, size and condition. Mention what is included and any faults. Honest ads sell faster.
Step 5: Set a fair price
Check Market Prices to see what similar items sell for, then set your price. Say in the description if the price is negotiable.
Step 6: Submit your ad
Choose your location and submit. Your ad may be checked by our moderators before it goes live. If it is rejected, you will see the reason in My Ads. Read the Seller rules first.
Step 7: Reply to buyers quickly
Buyers message you in Chat. Fast, polite answers win more sales. Keep the conversation on Kamafo.
Step 8: Meet safely and confirm payment
Meet in a busy public place. Hand over the item only after you have received the money. For Mobile Money, check your own balance: do not trust a screenshot or SMS sent by the buyer.
Step 9: Mark your ad as sold
When the item is gone, open My Ads and mark it as sold so buyers stop messaging you.
