# How to Sell Items that are already in Your Wallet

### 🛠️ What’s the Difference Between Selling and Creating Items?

| Creating Items                   | Selling Items                                        |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Mint a **new NFT** from scratch  | List an **existing NFT** you already own             |
| Set title, image, metadata, etc. | Set a **sale price** only                            |
| Used for **original content**    | Used for **reselling** or **listing unlisted items** |

You should **sell** instead of create if:

* You **bought an NFT** from someone else
* You **minted your own item but never listed it**
* You **own an NFT from another platform, game, or app** and want to sell it on Mintable

### ✅ Make Sure the Item Is in Your Wallet

To list any item for sale, you must **own the NFT** and have it inside your **connected Ethereum wallet**.

Check:

* If the NFT was **minted on Mintable**, it should appear under your **My NFTs**
* If the NFT came from **another service**, make sure it’s visible in your wallet and connected to Mintable

> ⚠️ If the NFT isn’t in your wallet, **you won’t be able to list it** for sale.

## 📍 Steps to Sell Your NFT

#### 1. Go to **My NFTs**

Log into your Mintable account and navigate to the **“My NFTs”** section from the top menu.

#### 2. Select the NFT You Want to Sell

Scroll through your owned NFTs and click on the one you want to list.

#### 3. Click **“List for Sale”**

* Click the **“List for Sale”** button
* Enter your desired price in **USD** (ETH conversion shown automatically)
* Confirm and complete the listing process

That’s it! Your NFT will now be listed on the Mintable marketplace.

### 🧠 Tip

Listing an NFT for sale does **not affect ownership** — you still hold the NFT until someone purchases it.
