Selling Tips
Weight the bottle to estimate how much product is left and state this clearly (e.g., 'approx 75% full'). Take a photo of the bottom of the bottle to show the batch code so buyers can check the expiration date. Clean the exterior scuffs with a magic eraser before photographing to improve the 'new' look.
