Troubleshooting Sells
"Transaction Failed"
Increase slippage
Try smaller sell amount
Check if token has sell tax
"Insufficient Output"
Slippage too low for market conditions
Increase slippage percentage
Can't Sell at All
Could be a honeypot (scam token):
Check contract on RugCheck
Look for sell transactions on Solscan
Unfortunately, tokens may be worthless
High Price Impact
You hold a large % of supply
Sell in smaller chunks
Accept slippage or wait for more liquidity
