• 📝 Carefully review the buyer's message, noting specific details such as quantity, color, personalization, or combined items.

Responding to Buyers and Creating Custom Listings

• 💬 Tap the reply button to confirm if you can fulfill the request, and include details on price, processing time, and shipping changes in your message.
• 🛒 If the request is feasible, go to the 'selling' section and select 'List an item' to create a custom listing.
• 🏷️ In the listing title, it's crucial to mention 'custom order' and include the buyer's username for clarity.

Finalizing the Sale and Best Practices
