Creating a listing

A listing is a rentable item with its own page, pricing, and calendar. This page explains every part of the form and what tends to matter most.

Listing basics

The title, description, and category are what renters see first. Specific beats clever: "Sun Joe SPX3000 pressure washer" will out-perform "Make your deck shine".

Photos

Listings with three or more photos get booked roughly twice as often as listings with one. Guidelines:

• Shoot in daylight, from a few angles.
• Include everything the renter gets — cases, cables, accessories.
• Photograph existing wear honestly. It sets expectations and protects you.

Settings that matter

Pricing

Set a day rate and an optional week rate. Weekly rates usually run 15–25% below seven times the day rate to reward longer rentals. See Pricing and availability for the full breakdown, including deposits and weekend pricing.

Availability

Your calendar is the source of truth. Block dates when the item is in use, being serviced, or just not for rent. Double-bookings can't happen if the calendar is current.

Pickup and delivery

Choose whether renters pick the item up from you, or whether you'll deliver within a radius. Delivery lets you charge more, but only offer it for things you can move safely.

Publishing checklist

Before you hit Publish, a quick self-check:

• Title says exactly what the item is
• 3+ photos, including one of any wear
• What's included is spelled out in the description
• Day rate set, and calendar blocked for unavailable dates
• You'd rent to a stranger based on this page alone

Drafts are private until you publish, and you can edit everything after the fact.
