USEFUL ADVICE
Buying second-hand
You should think twice before buying certain items second-hand. Nappy Valley advises users to steer clear of the following if they are used:
- Pushchairs without the British Standard sticker BS7409
- Car seats
- Cot mattresses
- Breast pumps
- Children’s leather shoes
Pricing
How much to charge depends on the age and condition of the item, and in some cases what accessories are included. Below is a guide to help your pricing decision for popular items. Please note these ranges are for used items. If your item is new and still in the box or includes accessories you may be able to charge more.

Condition of items
All items must be in good saleable condition.
Below is a guide to help rate the condition:
- New – Brand new, (never used) - often item is still in original packaging or with tags still on
- As New – Used but in excellent condition with no visible signs of wear
- Good – Used but in good condition with minimal signs of wear
When rating the condition, please be honest, you want the buyer to be happy!
Uploading photo
Photo files must be JPG format, should be approx. 800 x 600 pixels (low resolution) and file size 100kb.
Please ensure the rotation is correct before loading on to the site. Up to 4 photos can be included with your ad. Including photos with your ads can greatly increase your chances of making a sale. If you have trouble uploading photos, please email support@nappyvalley.co.uk.
Arranging to meet
When meeting a Buyer or Seller contacted through Nappy Valley, we recommend you choose a popular local meeting spot during daylight hours. If this is not possible and the meeting is at the Seller’s home, we advise you to let someone know where you are, or better still take someone with you.
No legal comeback
Once you have bought an item from a Seller, you have no legal comeback if it turns out to be faulty. Therefore, check the goods thoroughly before handing over the money. If the Seller still has the receipts, or a warranty, so much the better.
Be wary of fraudsters
We recommend that you only deal with UK Buyers who you can meet in person and who can pay you in cash.
