Selling inside a circle keeps a listing among people you know, like your apartment society, street or RWA. Only members can see it, and they can enquire straight from the chat.
Open the circle's chat
In the app, go to Circles, open the circle, and open the group you want to post in.Tap Sell
Tap the attach button beside the message box and choose Sell.Pick what you're posting
Choose For sale, Wanted or To lend, then a category. To give something away, choose For sale and set the price to Free.Describe, price and publish
Add photos and details, set the price, check it, and tap Publish.
The listing is set to that circle only. Under Post in, you can choose which group the card goes to.
What members see
- A card in the group's chat with the photo, price and an Enquire button.
- Quick questions they can tap, like “Is it still available?” or “When can I pick it up?”
- The listing in the circle's Buy & sell room, alongside other listings and group buys.
- The listing in the marketplace, but only for members.
Enquiries still come to you privately. Other members don't see the chat between you and a buyer. See Enquire about a listing.
If you can't sell in a circle
- An admin can set Sell inside the community to admins only. See Circle permissions.
- An archived circle doesn't take new posts, including listings.
You can also share an existing listing into a chat with Share. See Sell or give something away.
Common questions
Can I sell only to people in my apartment society?
Yes. Sell from inside your society's circle, or choose Only my circles when you list it. Only members of that circle can see it.
Why is there no Sell option in my circle?
The circle's admins may have limited selling to admins only. Ask an admin, or post the listing on the open marketplace instead.
Do other members see my chat with a buyer?
No. The listing card is in the group chat, but enquiries are private between you and the person asking.
