Complete the sale

Before payment is made, summarise the essential elements of the sale.

Make sure both parties are clear about:

• the exact item and version;
• final price;
• included accessories;
• previously disclosed defects and modifications;
• delivery method;
• any separate costs;
• agreed timing.

If anything changed during negotiations, this is the moment to make it explicit.

A short written summary can prevent many later misunderstandings.

Before handover or shipping, verify the payment status through the official service used for the transaction.

Do not treat the following as sufficient proof:

• screenshots;
• forwarded emails;
• receipts sent by the buyer;
• messages promising that funds will arrive later.

If payment is pending, conditional or unclear, resolve the situation before losing physical control of the item.

For broader security considerations, this procedure should be read together with the Muviber anti-fraud guide.

For an in-person handover, give the buyer reasonable time to check the item according to what was agreed.

Before parting:

• confirm the item;
• check the accessories;
• revisit any previously disclosed defects;
• verify the payment;
• avoid last-minute changes to the agreement.

With complex equipment, it may not be possible to test every function on the spot. In that case it is even more important that what was tested and what was not tested were already clear in the listing and conversation.

Before packing, keep a final record of the item.

Photograph:

• overall condition;
• serial number;
• previously disclosed defects;
• included accessories;
• easily identifiable components;
• any separate parts.

This documentation does not replace proper packaging and does not automatically determine the outcome of a dispute, but it helps establish what was actually prepared for shipment.

Also keep the relevant tracking information and receipts.

Before handing the parcel to the carrier, verify that the packaging is suitable for the specific item.

Guitars, amplifiers, synths, cymbals, rack equipment and electronic devices have different weak points. Secure or protect parts that may move and avoid empty space that allows the item to shift freely inside the package.

Also check weight, dimensions, label and the agreed delivery method.

This guide identifies the required checkpoint in the sales process; materials, double boxing, protection and specific procedures belong in the dedicated Muviber musical instrument shipping guide.

Once the sale has actually been completed, update the listing status using the platform’s available functions.

Avoid leaving an already sold item active, especially if you do not have another unit available.

Keep useful transaction information separately: the published description, photos, essential conversation, final price and delivery documentation.

This record can help with later questions and can also serve as a reference for future sales.
