Are products listed for sale only visible through shared links/listings?
Or will this be a Craigslist/gum-tree type affair?
[deleted]
Currently I think it's just through shared links. They're trying to enforce the idea of getting customers through social media. I think Reddit is the perfect platform for this so I've made some subreddits (/r/sello and /r/sellosale) in the hopes of boosting the community.
Can I set up a "test shop", which will not actually debit cards, but let me see how my future shop will look like?
"Anything".

Psst. Any of you kids tryna buy an airline?
I'm looking for a package airline/foreign government deal.
Drug and sex objects are forbidden - but I see no mention of weapons. Typical.
Which makes zero practical sense. Weapons are pretty boring without drugs and sex objects added to the mix.
Edit: Never mind. That wasn't the full list. Weapons and Munitions are at the bottom. So a universal ban on fun.

Bummer - I was about to invent a gun that can be used as a dildo to invite a second-amendment challenge to their list. :(
Pretty much why I prefer distributed markets like OpenBazaar.

Seems strange to not include any input for size information - and then include it in the share.
From their example of sneakers, to clothing or coffee, not sure I'd navigate to a post about many things, on the off chance it's my size.

Is there multilingual & multiple currency support?
How does this service make money? It looks as though Sello doesn't charge any fees.
What about digital goods? Does it handle a download interface?
Doesn't work in Europe? Canadian App-store only?
I can already sell anything to anyone, anywhere.
what is difference between this and gumroad?
Good luck giving out your most private PII in exchange to sell just a few things online (it makes much more sense if this is your full time job.) For others, Craigslist/eBay/Etsy etc. are probably better off.
PS: these 3rd party e-commerce platform are increasingly becoming the main targets for data breaches from cyber criminals.
