Tutorial
Complete worked examples using UK prices and sites. Pick a type of item — the same five steps happen for everything you add.
Photograph the item
Plain background, daylight, and a second photo of any marks on the base. Add rough size and weight — that is what makes the estimate and postage advice useful.

Likely item type
Vintage ceramic vase
Decorative ceramics can have resale value depending on maker, age and condition. Nothing is invented — with no maker’s mark visible, maker and age stay unknown and the band stays cautious.
Pick where to list it
Suggested site: eBay UK — Decorative homeware sells well there, buyers search by keyword, and it is easy to post.
Also worth a try: Vinted or Facebook Marketplace.
Suggested asking price: £38–£55. List slightly high and accept a sensible offer.

Paste it into the site
In the real app, the Post it buttons copy the listing and open eBay UK's own new-listing page so you can paste it straight in. KindSort never signs in or posts for you. If you list on more than one site, take it down everywhere else as soon as it sells — and mark it sold in your tracker so you can see what you have made.
If an item is marked, signed or believed antique, get a specialist to look before you list it.
Guidance, not a valuation. KindSort helps you sort a home practically. It does not provide formal probate, estate, tax, insurance, legal or professional valuations. For high-value, rare, disputed or legally relevant items, speak to a qualified specialist.
