Instructions to help you sell your koi

  • To list a koi you need to login (or register)
  • Fill in your contact information.
  • Input the title in the koi information. This is the title that will be displayed under your koi picture.
  • Under category, tick the items that apply to your listing by scrolling down. Make sure that you tick all the items that apply. Variety, age & sex.
  • Upload or drag in the koi images/video in portrait format (as opposed to landscape, this is important). Make sure that the pic/video is very clear and taken in a vat or bowl (one koi per listing). Low quality images may not be accepted as they don’t give a true representation to the buyer. Pics/video of koi in the pond are not accepted.
  • Upload videos as .mp4 and convert using the free and secure https://cloudconvert.com/mp4-converter if required. (We use the compressed video format .mp4 as it is the most supported video format on the web and offers the best compression to free up space on our servers).
  • If you use YouTube then you can also embed videos or add a link in the description field. See Embed Videos – YouTube.
  • Write a description of the koi. Give as much information as you can. Mention all relevant information to help the buyer. Things like history of koi, size, breeder if known, age… etc. The description (and title/pics/video) should not have any reference to your other koi, reference to a website or any marketing material.
  • Fill in the price. Make it realistic to achieve a sale.
  • Under location, start typing the name of your city and pick it from the drop down menu as it appears. If your city is not on the list, pick the nearest large city to your location. Alternatively just click the your location icon on the right hand side. Please note the location applies for the whole world. The website is available for worldwide use.
  • Preview the listing.
  • If all is good then publish. If not then amend.
  • If you receive questions from potential buyers about your listing that would be useful to other visitors, we suggest you add these questions and answers to your advert in description field.
  • The listing is free. If you prefer a featured option which will be highlighted and remain at the top of the listing then pick the £10 option.
  • Good luck and have fun!
