1. Verify your phone
Cradl requires a verified South African mobile number before you can publish a listing. It keeps buyers confident and cuts down on scams.
- Go to Verify phone in your account menu
- Enter your number and the SMS code
- You only do this once
2. Photograph it properly
Listings with clear photos sell roughly three times faster. You can upload up to six images per listing.
- Natural daylight, plain background
- Show wear and tear honestly
- Include brand labels and safety stickers
3. Write an honest description
Mention the brand, age, condition and anything a parent would want to know — recalls, missing parts, smoke or pet exposure.
4. Get paid through escrow
Buyers pay into Cradl escrow. Once the buyer confirms delivery, funds are released to your bank account, minus the platform fee.
- Add your bank details under Payment settings
- Funds release after delivery confirmation
- Disputes pause the payout until reviewed
