Step by step

  1. Choose a niche

    Pick a category such as laptop backpacks or gym bags where you can stand out.

  2. Brand the product

    Woven labels, tags and branded packaging make your listing look like a real brand.

  3. Shoot good photos

    Show the bag from all sides, inside, in use and with a size reference.

  4. Write accurate details

    Give dimensions in cm and inches, capacity, material and what fits inside.

  5. Plan stock and reorders

    Keep fast sellers in stock; stock-outs hurt marketplace ranking.
