Buyers send offers. Accept, counter or decline, and agree the details in the chat.Step 4: Agree a pickup time
Propose or accept a time slot. On the day, follow the buyer on the map.

Questions
Questions about how it works
How long does it take to sell?
Listing takes about a minute. How quickly offers arrive depends on your area and the material. Clear photos and a fair asking price help.
What if the buyer's weight is different from mine?
You see the final weight and the scale photo before you confirm. If you don't agree, don't confirm: talk it through in the chat, or cancel. After a deal, you can open a dispute within 7 days.
Who pays for transport?
The buyer comes to you. Any transport arrangement is part of the deal you agree in the chat.
Can I sell without the app?
Yes. Everything works in the web app in any browser. Get the Android app for the camera estimate and live pickups on the go.
