How do I post a sale?

Tap the + button at the bottom (or 'Post a Sale' in the menu), fill in details across 3 simple steps, add items, and publish.

Is there a fee?

Nearby Garage Sale is free to use. There are no listing fees, no service fees, and no online payment — you pay the seller in cash at pickup.

How does pay-on-pickup work?

When you place an order, the seller is notified. You contact each other via chat or phone, arrange pickup, inspect the item in person and pay cash directly to the seller.

Are users verified?

All users verify their mobile number via SMS. We also run community moderation and a reporting system to keep everyone safe.

Can I bid on items?

Yes — some sellers run timed auctions. Tap 'Place Bid' on the item page. If you're the highest bidder when the auction ends, you win.

How do I donate unsold items?

When creating items in a sale, set the listing type to 'Donation' and choose a verified NGO partner from the list.

How do I report a user or listing?

Every profile and item page has a Report button. Our moderators review reports within 24 hours.
