What do you actually need to create a listing on ScrapTrade?
Short answer: At minimum, you need a basic account, a description of the material (type and approximate quantity or weight), and ideally a photo or two — the process is designed to be quick, and you don't need special documentation or a business account to list as an individual seller, though business sellers may want to add their business details for credibility with buyers.

List Free →The bare minimum
A short description of what you’re selling and roughly how much of it you have is really all that’s required to get a listing live — everything else improves the quality of offers you receive, but isn’t strictly mandatory.
What actually improves your results
Photos, a more specific material description, and an honest condition assessment all help buyers make a confident offer rather than a cautious lowball one — the effort you put into a listing tends to show up in the quality of offers you get back.
Do you need a business account?
No — individual sellers can list without a business account, though if you are a business, adding that context can help build trust with buyers looking at your listing.
