Buy, rent or trade on the marketplace

1. Go to Browse (the Marketplace). Search, or look at what's Near you.
2. Open a listing. You see the photos, the price, its condition, how it changes hands and roughly where it is (only the area).
3. Tap Make an offer (or Propose a trade, Ask to rent it, Ask for it when it's free). Add a message if you like.
4. The seller can accept, decline or answer with a counter-offer. You have 48 hours to answer theirs.
5. When you agree (It's a deal!), the seller says where to meet. Pay the seller directly, then tap I got it.

Asking them to hold it

On something for sale or free, tick Ask them to hold it for me and choose Until (up to a week). If the seller agrees, it's held for you until then.

Renting

Pick the dates first. If the seller asks a deposit, you give it to them and they give it back when the thing comes back. Its condition going out and coming back is recorded on the deal.

Who you're dealing with

A person selling as themselves shows as their first name and initial. See their profile shows their town, since when they've been on whodo, what buyers said about their deals and, only if whodo checked it, Identity checked with the date. A business shows its own name and page.

Your offers

Offers lists every offer you made and every deal, with where to meet and what's next.

After it changes hands

Leave a review (1 to 5 stars and a few words) for 60 days. If something went wrong, open a problem from the deal: see "Something went wrong".

Staying safe

Meet in a public place when you can. Keep talking in the deal's conversation: what you agreed stays on record. whodo never holds money and never asks you to pay through a link.
