Agreeing the deal
Offers, chat and meeting up
Offers and counters
Send a swap offer or ask to buy, and the app writes the first message for you. Accept, counter or reply until you both agree.
Chat in the app
Agree the price, the cash on top and where to meet in the chat. No need to swap numbers.
Meet halfway
The app suggests a spot halfway between you. Or pick your own, like your local petrol station. The map only ever shows rough zones, never exact locations.
Got a question?
What to bring, how payments work and where to meet are on the meeting up and questions pages.
