Protection Program

Find what isn't for sale—yet.

Buyers post what they're looking for. People who already own it — even if they never planned to sell — can respond with offers.

Every offer, message, and payment stays within , with protection for eligible transactions.

Looking to sell? Browse active wants — you may already have exactly what someone needs.

Protection applies to eligible transactions — terms, limits, and exclusions apply.

Buyer-request alerts

Choose the alerts that fit what you have.

Follow a specific item you own, or save a broader search. Both look for new, real buyer Wants, but they serve different needs.

Items I Own is private. Adding an item doesn't list it for sale or commit you to selling.

Items I Own records what you own and is visible only to you. A Want is what you're looking to buy and is public. Post a Want instead.

Items I Own

Save a particular item or model privately. We check new Wants every hour and show why a request matched, so you can dismiss it or decide to offer.

Saved searches

Follow broader keywords, a category, and an optional maximum budget. We check for newly posted matching Wants every hour.

Create a saved search

Alert emails follow your saved preferences. Neither option creates a public Want or lists an item for sale.

Four steps, start to finish

Step 1

Post what you want

Describe the item, acceptable condition, quantity, and optional budget.

Step 2

Sellers come to you

People who own the item send real photos, an honest condition report, and a price.

Step 3

Accept an offer

You review one clear summary of every term, then accept and pay in one step.

Step 4

Get it, check it, done

Inspect on arrival. If everything's right, the seller gets paid and the deal closes.

Protection that works both ways

Buying from someone who never planned to sell only works if both sides feel safe. Here's what that means in practice.

Buyers get what was described

Coverage for items that never arrive, arrive wrong, arrive damaged and undisclosed, or fail authentication.

Buyer protection

Sellers who follow the rules get paid

Support against false non-delivery claims, abusive returns, and unauthorized-payment disputes.

Seller protection

Shipping you can actually trace

Tracking on every shipment, with signature and additional shipping protection required as transaction value increases, and clear claim ownership.

Shipping protection

Problems have a real process

Report from the order page, upload evidence, get a decision — and one meaningful appeal if you disagree.

Disputes and appeals

Clear protection. No misleading promises.

Eligible transactions include published buyer and seller protections. Terms, limits, deadlines, and exclusions apply — and we publish every one of them in plain language.
