Selling on URBALT

Posting on URBALT is free. Most listings go live within minutes — well-filled ones publish instantly, the rest go through a quick moderation check (usually under an hour).

Before you post

Your profile must have:

First name
Last name
Date of birth (only your age is shown — the date itself stays private)

Optionally add your isikukood (Estonian personal code) to get the ID verification badge. We validate it automatically using the official checksum — no uploads, no hassle.

Create a listing — the 9-step wizard

Click Sell in the header to open the listing wizard. It walks you through nine quick steps, and a live preview of your listing card sits alongside so you can see exactly what buyers will get. Your draft auto-saves every 10 seconds (you'll see a "Draft saved" badge) — leave and come back any time.

Category — pick what you're selling: Bike, E-bike, Scooter, Components, Accessories or Service. For a bike or scooter you don't have to choose the exact type here — that comes later.
Photos — drag and drop your images, or click to browse (JPG / PNG / WebP, up to 10). The first photo is the cover buyers see in search — drag a photo to the front or hover it and tap ★ to make it the cover. Reorder by dragging; the × button removes one.
Brand & model — search the brand, then the model. When you pick a known model we set the bike type for you automatically. Don't see your model? Pick the type by hand or skip it — the listing will simply show "type not set" and support can help. The year must be a full 4-digit number and can't be in the future.
Specs — frame material, wheel size, suspension, frame size (for scooters: speed, range, motor power). We pre-fill these from the model where we know them, and fields with only one possible value are set automatically. Everything here is optional.
Condition — New, Like new, Used, or For parts, each with a short explanation.
Description — free text up to 2000 characters. Say why you're selling and anything a buyer should know.
Location & contacts — pick the country first, then the city (EE / LV / LT get city suggestions; for other countries just type yours — you can be abroad and ship). Choose how buyers get it (Pickup only, I can ship, or Local delivery), then add your contacts (phone, Telegram, WhatsApp). Contacts start empty — tap Use my profile contacts to fill them in. If you enter any contact you must tick the consent box confirming it'll be public, or the wizard won't let you continue. Email isn't used on listings.
Price — the amount in euros, plus a choice: Open to offers (buyers can negotiate — most private sales work this way) or Fixed price (no haggling; shows a "Fixed" label).
Review — a summary of everything as a buyer will see it. Press Publish when it looks right.

After you publish, your listing goes through a quick moderation check before it's live (see auto-publish below). Adding a serial number on the specs step helps buyers verify authenticity and protects against theft-recovery scams.

Auto-publish: when your listing goes live instantly

If your listing looks good on submission, it can skip the moderation queue and appear on the site immediately. A moderator will still give it a look later, but without holding it up.

A listing auto-publishes when it scores high on two things:

Completeness — most of the useful fields are filled in. That means a real description, brand and model, year, condition, location, at least a few photos, plus the specific details that matter (frame material, wheel size, frame size, serial number, contact phone). The more of these you fill, the faster it goes live.
No red flags — the listing doesn't match suspicious patterns our system watches for (see trust & safety for the short version).

If either check doesn't pass, your listing goes into the normal moderation queue — usually resolved within an hour. You'll get an email either way when it's live.

Practical takeaway: filling your listing in properly is the fastest path to publication. It's also the listing buyers actually click on.

Where is my listing while it's under review?

It hasn't gone anywhere — it's just not public yet. You can always find it in your own panel.

Open /panel/listings and switch to the In review tab. Every listing you've submitted that's still being checked lives there, each with a status badge:

Under review — a moderator hasn't looked at it yet. Nothing to do; just wait. Most are cleared within an hour.
Needs changes — a moderator asked you to fix something before it can go live. Open it, edit, and resubmit.
Rejected — it didn't meet the rules. Check your notifications for the reason; see safety and what can't be sold.

From this tab you can Edit or Delete a listing while it waits — you don't have to wait for approval to fix a typo, change the price, or take it down. You'll also see the same Edit and Delete buttons, plus a short note explaining why it isn't public yet, if you open the listing's own page while you're signed in as its owner.

This is new: before, a freshly submitted listing was invisible to you until a moderator approved it, which made it look like your post had vanished. Now it's yours to see and manage from the moment you submit.

Premium launch promo

During our open beta, the first 100 users on each domain (urbalt.ee, urbalt.lv, urbalt.lt) who post 2 or more active listings get 1 month of Premium free. It's automatic — once your second listing clears moderation, Premium switches on for 30 days. You'll see a banner on the homepage showing how many free slots are left on your domain.

Premium unlocks cross-border visibility (see below), a profile highlight, and a few extras coming in later updates. The promo is personal — vendors and shop accounts don't qualify.

Where will my listing appear?

By default your listing appears only on the URBALT domain where you post it — a listing posted on urbalt.ee shows up on urbalt.ee, not on urbalt.lv or urbalt.lt. That way buyers in each country see relevant local offers first.

If you'd like to reach buyers across the border too, use the Show to neighboring countries checkbox at the end of the form. When enabled, your listing is mirrored on all three domains, and buyers on urbalt.lv / urbalt.lt see a small country flag (🇪🇪 / 🇱🇻 / 🇱🇹) next to the location so they know where it is physically.

This cross-border visibility is a Premium feature. The checkbox is visible to everyone so you know the option exists, but it only takes effect once your account has an active Premium subscription — which you can get through the launch promo above, or by subscribing. Without Premium the checkbox has no effect and your listing stays local.

When your bike sells — Mark as Sold

Once the deal is done, go to /panel/listings, find the listing, and click Mark Sold. This does two useful things:

The listing stops appearing in search and categories, so buyers don't message you about something that's gone.
It keeps the record in your history for ratings and for reference — it's not the same as Archive.

You can also Archive a listing if you're taking it off the market without selling (e.g. you changed your mind or the item broke). Archived and sold listings both show up in the same tab of your panel for now.

Ratings

After a deal closes, buyer and seller can rate each other. Ratings show on your profile and build trust for future deals.

See how your listings perform

Every listing now tracks how often it's seen and how often it gets real interest. Open /panel/stats for the 30-day overview — posts, comments, reactions given and received, and for every listing the number of views and how many of those turned into interest (someone actually opened the listing page).

For a single listing, click it in the table to open /panel/listings/:id/stats — you'll see a per-day chart, a breakdown by where the view came from (main grid, search, category, etc.), and a conversion rate. Full details in the stats guide.

Only you see your own stats — nobody else can tell how many times your listings were looked at.
