2. Buy Your (First) Item

Once you find an item, you can choose your preferred payment and delivery method and buy the item with one click. The seller will then ship the item or contact you for pickup. Once you’ve receive the item, you have two days to check the item and either confirm that you like it, or initiate a return.

We handle the payment transaction for you and your seller, and keep your money safe. The money will only be transferred, once your purchase is completed - if you return the item, you will get the item price refunded.

3. Love It

Enjoy your new item and wear or use it with pride!
Share your love with your friends.

Want to use different addresses?

When you buy or list an item, you start with one address for everything. But you can add more addresses for extra flexibility. Check out How can I manage different addresses for all the details.
