How can I schedule my Olio listing to go live later?

You can choose for your listing to go live in 5-60 mins instead of immediately, so you can finish uploading before seeing requests.

Follow these Steps:

  1. Start your listing
    Add photos, title/description, and pickup details as usual.

  2. Scroll to the bottom
    Find the option to set your listing live now or live in the future.

  3. Pick a delay
    Choose a go-live time from 5 to 60 minutes, in 5-minute increments.

  4. Finish adding items
    Use the delay to complete all your listings before requests begin.

  5. Post it
    Once scheduled, the listing will not be requestable until it goes live.


Why schedule instead of posting now?
It lets you finish listing everything first, then handle requests in one batch.

Is this the same as a “pre-listing”?
No. Scheduling delays a specific listing by minutes; a pre-listing is a separate post used to let neighbours know you’ll share later (often for late collections).
