How to sell online
1 min watch • 5 min read
Selling on classified sites like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and eBay can be great for clearing out your garage, but bad for your personal safety.
Long after your goods are gone, your personal information remains, online and on the buyer’s phone.
Using your own phone number on a classified ad can be particularly risky for your personal safety. Scams and fraud are common, but stalking and violent crimes are a risk too.
MySudo lets you buy and sell with strangers without the safety risks. Use the app to stay private and secure, from the first ad to the final sale. Here’s how:
1. Set up a dedicated selling Sudo. You can have up to 9 Sudos in the app. Choose SudoMax plan for the most Sudos, or pick the plan that best suits your real-life privacy needs.
2. Use your Sudo email on the account sign-up page. Emails from the classified site will go to your Sudo inbox, and Sudo email is more private than the 2-way email relays some sites use.
3. Make sure to include your Sudo phone number on your ad so that potential buyers have your Sudo number and never your personal one. If the classified site asks for your phone number to assign a verification number, give them your Sudo number too.
And if you happen to spot a secondhand sofa you just have to have, use your Sudo number to contact that seller and use your virtual card to pay for it. All your buying and selling will stay within one Sudo.
See, it’s easy! MySudo helps you sell your stuff, not your safety.
