The best way to sell your item is to try to imagine yourself as the buyer and answer all the questions you would have. Condition of the item, maintenance, ease of use, strong points and weak points. Size is much better understood if you give your own weight/height/size and how it fit you.
Why are you selling the item? What is so good about it?

:idk: A seller saying "any questions, just ask" without any item description tells the buyer "I don't want to describe the item because I hope you are an idiot and will buy an inferior product".

:no: Provided you are not selling an old bathtub for a scooter, or cement blocks for a BCD, filling out extra product information increases your chance of selling quickly by 20 percent or more. Happy selling!
