How to Create a Private Sale using Nerd Crawler Buy It Now

Sometimes, you don’t want your listing out in the wild for everyone to see. Maybe you’ve struck a deal with a buyer off-platform and just need a secure way to handle payment and shipping.

Nerd Crawler makes it super easy for you to make a Buy It Now Listing and keep it private while allowing you to use our secure payment and escrow service to complete the sale.

In just three steps, you can create a secure, trackable, and private listing that only your buyer can access. Here's how to do it.

🎯 Step 1: Create a New Listing

First, sign up or log in to your Nerd Crawler account to make a listing.

If you're on Desktop, click on "Add New" on the top left navigation bar and click "Buy Now". Upload a picture of the piece you'll want to sell privately. Then, add all the relevate product information like name, description, price, and shipping. Then, instead of clicking "Publish Piece" like normal, you'll click "Save & Keep Piece Hidden". 

If you're logged in on Mobile, click the "+" icon on the bottom navigation bar, click "Buy Now". Upload a picture of the piece you'll want to sell privately. Then, add all the relevate product information like name, description, price, and shipping. Then, instead of clicking "Publish Piece" like normal, you'll click "Save & Keep Piece Hidden". 

Once you've clicked "Save & Keep Piece Hidden", your piece will only be visibile in your gallery to you. 

🔒 Step 2: Share Your Hidden Piece

Now that you have a hidden piece for sale, you can copy the link to that piece, and share it with your interested buyer.

💸 Step 3: Buyer Pays

Once the buyer receives the link to the hidden piece, they can make the purchase like any other Buy It Now piece and without the fear of someone else buying it before they can.

Final Tips

We hope this is a helpful way for you to sell your pieces to your superfans, and here are some final tips:

1) You can still tag your item and keep it organized in your gallery—even if it’s not public.

2) Need to sell to multiple buyers privately? Create individual listings for each buyer using the same steps.

3) Want to convert a private listing to public? Just edit the visibility settings.

If you're a seller who wants to keep things private, simple, clean, and secure—Nerd Crawler's Private Buy It Now option is the way to go.
