Seller guidance

Selling bonsai responsibly

Bonsai Bay is built to help bonsai lovers sell with honesty, care, and respect for every tree. Clear information helps buyers make better decisions and helps sellers build trust.

Describe your tree honestly

Include species, estimated age, size, condition, pot, soil, care history, and known issues.

Use clear, recent photos

Show the full tree, trunk, pot, soil surface, any damage, and close-up details.

Be careful with estimated age

Use “estimated age” unless you have reliable records.

Explain collection or delivery clearly

Agree safe collection, careful packaging, or delivery arrangements before the buyer commits.

Understand plant rules

Sellers are responsible for any plant health, plant passport, protected species, import/export, tax, or local trading rules that may apply.

Communicate respectfully

Answer questions honestly and keep messages clear.
