Getting started
Set up your profile
Add a photo, a short bio and your city so people know who they are chatting with. Your email and phone stay private.
You set up your profile from Me. Add a photo, a short bio and your city, so buyers and sellers know who they are talking to. Your email and phone number are never shown.
What you can add
- Your name. Other people see your first name and the first letter of your last name.
- Your name in the address (optional). A short name like @maria_lim. Use 3 to 30 letters, numbers or underscores. Your page is then at zellany.com/u/ followed by that name.
- Bio. Up to 300 letters. Say what you sell and where you meet. No links or phone numbers.
- Photo. Your face or your logo. If you add none, we show your initials.
- Cover picture (optional). Up to 4 MB, at least 1,200 pixels wide. With none, your page has a red cover.
- Featured items. Pick up to 3 of your items to show first.
- Intro video (optional). See Your videos and your profile intro video.
How to edit it
- Open Me, then My profile. On the website you can also open your profile page.
- Tap Edit profile.
- Change what you like, then tap Save.
What your profile shows
A profile shows your listings, your ratings, and which checks you have done, such as your email. Checks are free and never for sale. They show that you did a step. They do not show that you are honest, so buyers should still follow the meet-up habits.
Tip
A clear photo and two honest lines in your bio make people more ready to reply. They do not make a sale sure.
