How do I create a listing?+
Tap the Sell button in the navigation bar, then follow the 3-step wizard: add photos and a title, set your category-specific details and pricing, then preview and publish. You can create fixed-price listings, auctions, or both.
How do auctions work?+
Set a starting bid and duration (1 hour to 7 days). Other students can place bids, and you'll see real-time bid updates. When the auction ends, the highest bidder wins. You can also add a 'Buy Now' price for instant purchase.
What are ghost strikes?+
Ghost strikes are penalties for not showing up to confirmed meetups. Each strike reduces your reputation score by 10 points. If your score drops to 60 or below, you won't be able to publish new listings. Always show up to your meetups!
How does meetup verification work?+
When an order is created, both buyer and seller receive unique 6-digit meetup codes. At the meetup, exchange codes and enter the other person's code to confirm the delivery. This protects both parties.
Is my payment secure?+
For card payments, we use Stripe, the industry standard for online payment processing. For cash transactions, the meetup code system ensures both parties confirm the exchange. All transactions include a 5% platform fee.
Can I sell meal swipes?+
Yes! If you have a verified .edu account, you can list unused meal swipes. Specify the quantity, meal type, dining hall, and expiration. Only verified students can list meal swipes.
How do I list a housing sublet?+
Choose the Housing category when creating a listing. You'll be asked for lease dates, whether it's furnished, if utilities are included, and monthly rent. Add photos of the space to attract interest.
Can I offer or request services?+
Yes! The Services category supports tutoring, rides, moving help, errands, and more. Choose whether you're offering or requesting, set your rate (hourly, flat, or negotiable), and add your availability.
