Buying and offers

What happens when your offer is accepted

Accepting an offer does not take payment. You agree a time and place in the chat.

Updated 30 October 2026

What it means

The seller has agreed your price. No payment is taken, and nothing is sold yet. The listing stays live until the seller marks it sold, and other people’s offers on it stay open.

What to do next

  1. Agree a time and a place in the chat. You can send a spot on the map with the location button next to the message box.
  2. Meet, look at the item and check it works.
  3. Pay the seller in person, the way you agreed.
  4. Once you have the item, answer Got it? in the chat. That records the sale, so the two of you can review each other.

If plans change

The agreed price stands. You cannot make a new offer on this listing, so say anything else in the chat. If nobody came to the meeting you agreed, you can report a no-show from the chat menu for 7 days after the offer was accepted.
