Items

Items is One Two Sell's shared product catalogue. Every item is a specific, real product — a single model, colour and capacity — and underneath it sits a list of offers: what individual suppliers charge for that exact product, on what terms, from where.

It's the reverse of the Deals feed. A deal is one business announcing what they have. An item is one product, with every supplier's price gathered in one place so you can compare them side by side.

The catalogue is shared: everyone sells against the same product entries, which is the only reason prices under an item are comparable at all. It grows continuously — new products are added every week, and you can request anything that's missing.

Items vs Deals vs Showcases

A deal disappears when it expires. Your offer on an item stays until you remove it — so a buyer searching for that product next month still finds you.

Finding a product

This is the gap Items closes. On a feed you search for posts and hope one of them happens to be the model you need this week. In Items you search for the product, and the suppliers come with it.

Discover

Opening Items lands you on Discover rather than a wall of 32,900+ products. It's built for the three ways traders actually arrive:

• Find what you trade — one search box that matches product names, barcodes and part numbers, as well as category, subcategory and brand names. Paste a barcode off a supplier list and you land on the product.
• Browse by category — the whole catalogue grouped, and Top brands as tiles.
• Your items — shortcuts into what you sell, what you follow, and "My item isn't listed" for requesting what's missing.

From there, the grid. Narrow it by category, subcategory and brand, or search straight from the grid's own search field.

The catalogue is deliberately specific. "iPhone 15 Pro" isn't one entry — the 256GB and the 512GB are different products, because they're different prices. Searching lands you on the exact variant you actually trade, not an approximation of it.

Filters

The filter panel has three groups:

Brand, category and subcategory on an item page are links — tapping the brand on an item takes you to everything that brand has in the catalogue, with the filter already applied.

The item page

Each item card shows the product, its photo and how many suppliers currently have a price on it. Open one and you'll see:

• The product — name, photo (tap to open it full screen and zoom), specifications, and the identifiers that separate it from near-identical models: barcode, manufacturer part number, capacity, colour.
• Supplier offers — every business quoting a price, with their terms, grouped so you're comparing like with like.
• Ask for price — for suppliers who sell it but haven't published a current price.
• Add to My Items, then Add my offer — the way in if you're a supplier rather than a buyer. See selling on items.
• Follow and Share — watch the item, or send it to someone.

Understanding an offer

An offer is what one supplier sells that item for, and on what terms. Each price in it carries:

A supplier can publish several prices in the same offer — a different term, a different port, a different condition, an export price and a local one. Each is its own line with its own basis.

Next to each price you get Chat (or Ask where there's no number). Either one opens a conversation with that supplier with the message already written — naming the product, its barcode or part number, and the exact price and basis you tapped. You're not retyping a quote request for every supplier on the page.

Condition grades

Six grades, and a supplier has to pick one:

Anything other than brand new is badged in colour on the offer row, so you can scan a long list without reading every label. The filter panel groups them into Brand new and Used & refurbished for when you only want one or the other.

Export or local sale

Not every sale crosses a border, and an in-country price is not the same kind of number as an export price. One Two Sell keeps the two apart everywhere — separate labels, separate filters, separate comparison groups.

On an item, every price is labelled Export or Local, and the two never share a comparison group. Where an item has both, a basis filter appears so you can show only the one that applies to you. The item's headline price is always an export price, so the number at the top of the page means the same thing on every product.

Why the place matters

On an export price, the term and the place are always shown together — "FOB Jebel Ali", not just "FOB". A term on its own doesn't describe a price: FOB Shanghai and FOB Shenzhen are different numbers. Two offers are only comparable when you read the basis alongside the figure.

Local-sale prices work the same way for the same reason, one level up: they're grouped by country, and the collection city travels with each individual price.

Incoterms explained

An Incoterm is the three-letter code — FOB, CIF, EXW — that tells you how much of the journey is already inside the price. They are an international standard (Incoterms 2020), so they mean the same thing to every supplier and every buyer on One Two Sell. A low number on a term that stops at the seller's door can easily cost more delivered than a higher number that includes freight — the term is what makes the comparison fair.

Terms where the place is the origin

The buyer arranges and pays for the main journey. Cheapest headline price, most work for you.

Terms where the place is the destination

The seller arranges the main journey and it's inside the price. Higher headline number, far less for you to organise.

Reading a price properly

• CFR/CPT have no insurance. If you need cover, either buy it yourself or compare against CIF/CIP instead.
• DAP and DPU stop short of duty. A DAP price can look complete and still leave you a customs bill.
• Sea-only terms need a sea port. FAS, FOB, CFR and CIF don't apply to air freight — if you're quoting air, use FCA, CPT, CIP or one of the D terms.
• Compare like with like. An EXW price and a DDP price for the same product are not close to comparable; everything between them is on your account in the first case.

If you're unsure what a supplier's price includes, ask them before you order. The term is a summary, not a contract.

How fresh is this price?

Prices go out of date, and a stale price is worse than no price. Every offer shows how recently the supplier confirmed it, and ages through three stages:

So you're never shown a number the supplier hasn't stood behind recently. (These thresholds are set by One Two Sell and can be adjusted.)

If you publish offers, keep them confirmed — see keeping your prices fresh.

Selling on items

Selling on Items is two steps: first you add the item to My Items (your list of things you sell), then you add your offer on it. Buyers only see you on an item once your offer is published — adding the item alone doesn't list you.

You can do that one product at a time, or send the whole list at once.

Start here: send your price list

If you already keep your stock in a spreadsheet — and almost every trader does — don't retype it. My Items → Send your list reads the file you already have and does both steps for every row: adds each product to My Items and publishes your offer on it.

It is the fastest way to go from a new account to being findable, and it is where most sellers should begin. One upload of a real stock list does in a few minutes what adding items by hand does in an afternoon.

What having that list does for you: below.

Step 1: add the item to My Items

1. Open Items and find the product you sell — search by name, barcode (UPC) or part number (MPN), or browse a category or brand.
2. On the item card, slide "Add to my items" to the right (it's a slider, not a button, so a stray tap can't spend your tokens). On the item page it's a button: Add to my items.
3. The item joins My Items.

Adding an item costs 10 tokens, shown on the slider before you confirm. It's charged once per item: re-adding an item you already paid for is free, and if your balance is short you're asked to top up first.

What happens next depends on where you are:

• On iPhone and Android the Add your offer form opens straight away.
• On the web a message confirms it's in My Items. Open My Items and tap Add offer on the item — or tap Add offer on the item card, which now shows it in place of the slider.

Step 2: add your offer

Add offer opens a short step-by-step form. You answer one question per step, and Continue stays greyed out until the step is complete — a short note tells you what's missing. An export offer has 5 steps; a local sale has 4, because it skips the shipping terms.

1. What type of offer is this?

• Export — selling to a buyer in another country.
• Local sale — selling to a buyer in your own country. The buyer collects from you and your price excludes VAT.

Export and local offers are shown to buyers separately.

2. Shipping terms (export only)

• How will the goods ship? — By air, By sea, By road, or Any.
• Where do you want your responsibility to end? — pick the answer that matches how you sell, and the app offers the matching Incoterms:

• Incoterm — tap the exact code. Each one shows what you pay for and where the risk passes. If you're not sure, the most common choice is When I hand it to the carrier — for example FCA at your nearest airport, or FOB at your seaport.

3. Location

• Export: the place that goes with your term. The label tells you which place to pick: Departure airport / port / city for FCA, FAS and FOB, Destination airport / port / city for the C and D terms, or Where buyers collect for EXW. Sea-only terms (FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF) must be a seaport. Can't find your port or airport? Use Can't find your port or airport? Add it to request it.
• Local sale: Where do buyers collect? — pick the country, and add a city only if it changes the price.

The form reads your quote back to you, for example "FCA Dubai Airport (DXB)", so you can check it.

4. Price and quantity

• Price per unit — required, in US dollars (excluding VAT for a local sale). Buyers see when you last updated it.
• Quantity available and Minimum order — optional. Leave both blank to discuss in chat.
• Condition — Brand new, CPO, Refurbished, Used — like new, Used — good or Used — fair (see condition grades).
• Lead time — Ready to ship, 7–10 days to ship, 2–3 weeks to ship, or your own wording.

5. Review

Check your offer, then tap Publish offer. It goes live on the item straight away — buyers see it under Supplier offers and can chat with you from it. You can add more prices after publishing.

After you publish

• Edit your offer — the item's button changes to Edit offers (on the item page, Edit my offer). Change any field and tap Save changes.
• Add another price — in the offer editor, Add offer adds one more price and walks you through the same steps for it: another port, another term, another condition, or a local price next to your export one. You can't have two prices on the same basis (same term and place, or the same local place) — that's one price quoted twice. An offer can hold up to 50 prices.
• Next offers are quicker — your answers from the last offer (market, shipping, term, place, condition, lead time) are filled in for you. The price is never copied; you always enter it.
• Publishing, editing and adding prices are free — the only token cost is adding the item to My Items.

Who can see and publish prices

Right now, every signed-in One Two Sell account can both see suppliers' prices and publish their own — for a limited period.

Prices are a signed-in feature either way: signed-out visitors can browse the catalogue but never see the numbers.

My Items

My Items is your list of the items you sell, with your offer on each. Open it from Items (the My Items button, or My items under Your items on Discover) or from your account.

Managing your offers

On each item in My Items you can:

• Add offer — on an item you haven't priced yet ("No offer published yet").
• Edit offers — open the offer editor to change any field, add a price or remove one.
• Change the price quickly — when the offer has a single price, edit the number right on the row.
• Pause or Reactivate — a paused offer keeps everything you entered but buyers stop seeing it.
• Remove my offer — withdraws your offer from the item (it no longer appears on the item page); the item stays in My Items.
• Offers are valid (on the apps, Still valid) — confirm the price is still right, see keeping your prices fresh.
• Archive — put the item away until you have stock again, see archiving an item.

Keeping your prices fresh

Your offers age like everyone else's. Open My Items and confirm your prices. Confirming says "this is still my price" without editing anything — it resets the clock and moves your offers back to fresh, which is what keeps them visible and near the top.

You can confirm one item at a time (Offers are valid, or Still valid on the apps) or everything at once with Refresh prices in the My Items menu. The confirm control only appears once a price is a few days old — reaffirming something you touched yesterday says nothing.

Confirm at least every 12 days and your prices never go stale. Leave an offer for 20 days and buyers stop seeing your number at all — they get Ask for price instead, which costs you the enquiries that come from being directly comparable.

One Two Sell also emails you a price-freshness nudge a few days before a price is due to expire, so your catalogue doesn't go quiet without warning. It's throttled so you never get more than one in a week, and you can turn the whole nudge-email category off in Settings → Notifications.

Archiving an item

Sliding a row away doesn't delete anything — it archives the item. Your offer is paused, not thrown away, and every price you entered is kept.

• On the web, tap Archive on the row and confirm. On mobile, swipe the row; there's no confirmation dialog, because there's an undo in the toast that follows. Undo restores the offer to exactly what it was — paused stays paused, live goes back live.
• Archived items live under Archive, reachable from My Items.
• Sell this again (on mobile, swipe the archived row back) picks the item up again. Your old prices come back with it — tap Reactivate to show them to buyers — and rejoining an item you paid for costs no tokens.

This is the honest shape of the thing it models: traders stop carrying a line for a season and pick it up again, and retyping a price list every time is not a reason to keep selling something.

Your product list

Your list is the one thing everything else on One Two Sell runs on. Fill it once, keep it current, and the rest of the platform starts working for you without any further effort.

Buyers find you without you looking for them

Your price sits on the product's own page, beside every other supplier's. Anyone searching that exact model sees you and can message you straight from your offer, and everyone following that product is told the moment your price goes live.

A deal expires in days. A price on a catalogue item keeps bringing people to you for as long as you keep confirming it.

You stop retyping your list all day

"What do you have?" is the question every supplier answers five times a day. From My Items, two lists are ready to send:

• Stock list — what you carry, with no prices on it. The one you send to a new contact or into a group without publishing your margins.
• Price list — each price with its terms, for someone who has asked to buy.

Both are built from the list you already keep here and formatted for WhatsApp, so you can send them into any chat on One Two Sell or paste them anywhere else. The message you send and the prices you publish can't drift apart, because they are the same list.

A deal or a showcase whenever you want one

Create turns that same list into a Want-to-Sell Deal or a standing Showcase, with everything already written in as the description. You edit what you want and publish. Posting stops being a writing job — you can put a fresh deal out in a minute, any day you feel like it.

Your whole price book moves at once

Prices change. Send your updated sheet again and every line moves with it. Re-sending a price you haven't changed isn't wasted either — it counts as confirming it, which keeps your offers fresh and near the top. On the web you can download your current prices as a spreadsheet, edit them in Excel and send the same file straight back.

Your profile shows what you actually sell

Someone looking at your business sees your real range instead of an empty page — which is often what decides whether they message you at all.

Adding your list

My Items → Send your list. Send the Excel or CSV you already keep, or paste the list straight out of WhatsApp. There's no template to fill in and no particular order your columns have to be in. You confirm what matched, and every line becomes an item with your price published on it.

It's on web, iPhone and Android, and up to 500 lines go in at a time.

If a product isn't in the catalogue yet you can still add it — your offer waits, costs you nothing while it waits, and goes live by itself once the product is there.

The free 300 items

Adding an item to My Items costs 10 tokens — but new sellers get their first 300 items free.

• The 30 days start when you add your first item, not when you signed up. If you joined months ago and have never added anything, the full allowance is still waiting for you.
• Offers are always free, before and after the allowance. Publishing, editing, adding price lines and confirming them never costs tokens. The charge is only for putting a product on your list.
• An item is charged once, for life. Remove it and add it back next year — still free. You never pay twice for the same product.
• Your remaining allowance is shown on the upload page before you save.

Sharing what you sell

Two different things, both from My Items or an item page:

• Share an item — send one catalogue item to a contact. Inside One Two Sell it arrives as an item card they can open; outside, as a link that opens the app if they have it. On the apps, long-press a card to share it.
• Stock list and Price list — copy what you sell as text to paste into WhatsApp or an email. The Stock list has no prices, so it's safe to forward; the Price list carries each price with its terms. You choose which details travel with it (UPC, MPN, quantity, MOQ, lead time) and whether it keeps bold headings. On the web, Create turns the list into a Deal or a Showcase.

Requesting items and places

The catalogue won't have everything.

• Request an item — if a product you sell isn't listed, request it. Add them one at a time, or paste a supplier list — a block of text, a CSV, or cells straight out of a spreadsheet — and One Two Sell reads the columns for you. Up to 500 rows at a time. A product is identified by its barcode or by brand + part number, so a list with no barcode column is still requestable. Rows with a mistyped barcode are flagged before you send rather than failing afterwards.
• Request a place — if the port or airport you quote from isn't in the list, request it and it'll be reviewed. There are 228 ports and airports in the list today.

Both are reviewed by One Two Sell before anything joins the shared catalogue. That review is what keeps it consistent, which is what makes prices comparable in the first place.

Reporting a price

If an offer looks wrong, use Report on it. You'll be asked why:

• Wrong price — the number is incorrect.
• Out of date — it's no longer valid.
• Not available — the supplier doesn't actually have it.
• Suspected scam — the price looks designed to mislead.
• Other — anything else.

Reports are reviewed by One Two Sell. This is what keeps the catalogue trustworthy — a marketplace of prices only works if the prices are real. See Reporting & Safety for how reports are handled generally.

Following an item

Follow an item to keep an eye on it. Useful for products you buy regularly, or ones you're about to start selling and want to watch the market on first. Everything you follow is under Following items on Items (or the Following filter in the catalogue).

Following is also what feeds your notifications. One Two Sell tells you when:

That last one never carries the rival's number, deliberately: it exists to prompt you to quote, not to anchor you to someone else's price.

Where else items show up

The catalogue isn't only in the Items tab:

• Explore has a hand-picked section of catalogue items, so you meet products you weren't searching for.
• Every business profile has an Items tab listing what that supplier carries and at what price — the mirror image of an item page. It's the fastest way to answer "what else does this company sell?", and you can start a chat from any row.
• Messages can carry an item: a shared item arrives as a card that opens the product.
• On iPhone and Android, profile setup includes a step to follow items and add an offer, so a new supplier is findable before posting a first deal.

Common questions

How is an item different from a deal?

A deal is your post, with your stock, that expires. An item is a shared catalogue product that many suppliers list prices under, and your offer stays until you remove it.

Can I sell inside my own country, not just export?

Yes. Choose Local sale as the offer type — it's quoted against your country rather than a port, it's ex works (the buyer collects), and it excludes VAT. It sits under the same item as everyone's export prices but in its own group, so the two are never confused. You can publish both on one item.

Why is a local price so much lower than the export prices next to it?

Because it's a different kind of number, not a better deal. A local-sale price excludes VAT, includes no freight, no insurance and no export clearance, and assumes the buyer collects from the supplier's premises. An FOB or CIF price has some or all of that inside it. The two aren't comparable, which is exactly why One Two Sell labels and groups them separately.

What's the fastest way to list everything I sell?

Send the price list you already keep. My Items → Send your list takes your spreadsheet — or a list pasted out of WhatsApp — and turns every line into a live offer buyers can find. It's on web, iPhone and Android. See adding your list.

Do I have to reformat my spreadsheet first?

No. Send it as it is: there's no template, and your columns can be in any order. You see what was understood and can correct it before anything is saved.

What do I actually get out of keeping my list here?

Four things, all from the same list: buyers find you on the product's own page and your followers hear when your price goes live; a Stock list and a Price list are ready to send into any chat instead of being retyped; Create turns the list into a Deal or a Showcase in a minute; and your profile shows your real range. See your product list.

Does adding an item cost tokens?

Your first 300 items are free — see the free 300. After that, adding an item to My Items costs 10 tokens, shown on the slider before you confirm.

Publishing your offer, editing it, adding prices and confirming them costs nothing, ever. And an item is charged once for life: re-adding one you already had is free.

Why can't I see prices?

Prices are only shown to signed-in accounts — sign in and they appear. Access is open to everyone for now, though it's expected to become verified-only later; the page tells you when that's what's blocking you.

Why does an offer show "Ask for price" instead of a number?

The supplier's price has aged past the point where One Two Sell will keep showing it (20 days without being confirmed). Contacting them gets you a current number.

My price disappeared — why?

It aged out. Open My Items and confirm your prices (Offers are valid, or Refresh prices for everything) to bring them back. You should have had a nudge email a few days before it happened — check that nudge emails aren't switched off in Settings.

I archived an item by mistake

Undo is in the toast that appears right after. If you've missed it, open Archive from the My Items menu and tap Sell this again (on mobile, swipe the row back) — your prices come back with it, exactly as they were.

How do I find the businesses selling a specific model?

Search the catalogue for the product, open it, and the suppliers are right there — every business quoting that exact item, grouped by basis and condition so you're comparing like with like. Message any of them straight from their offer. If someone sells it but hasn't published a current number, Ask for price puts you in touch.

Can I list a product that isn't in the catalogue?

Request it. Once reviewed and added, you can add it to My Items and publish your offer on it. In the meantime, post it as a Deal.

How do I add an offer to an item?

Add the item to My Items first (slide Add to my items on its card), then tap Add offer — on the apps the form opens by itself. Answer the steps — Export or Local sale, shipping terms (export only), location, price and quantity — and tap Publish offer. See step 2: add your offer.

Is Items on the mobile apps?

Yes — the full catalogue, item pages, supplier offers, My Items, the offer editor, archiving, sharing and item requests are all on iPhone and Android as well as web. The only piece that's still web-only is the CSV export and bulk price import.

Can I sell an item without publishing a price?

No — buyers find you through your offer, and every offer needs a price per unit. Adding an item to My Items on its own doesn't list you on the item. If you'd rather agree quantities in chat, leave Quantity available and Minimum order blank; buyers can still message you from your offer.

Someone else is quoting a price I know is wrong

Report the price line. Reports target the specific price, not the supplier's whole offer, because an offer can hold several prices on different bases and "wrong price" has to say which one.
