Your corner of the grove.

You, as a neighbour. One stall for the sourdough, the declutter, the odd hour of help.

What it is

Personal stall, in a sentence or three

One personal stall per account. It is you, with your name on it. The listings can be anything from the nine types. A spinney still has to approve the stall before neighbours in that grove can see it.

Personal stall

You, as a neighbour. One stall for the sourdough, the declutter, the odd hour of help.

How it works

Three steps. No MBA required.

  1. 1

    Open the stall

    Give it a name, a short description, and a URL. You choose how precise the location is: a rough area, or hidden.

  2. 2

    List what you would have posted anyway

    A loaf, a pair of wellies, an hour of tutoring. Each listing has its own way of running. They all sit on this one stall.

  3. 3

    Ask a spinney to let you in

    You apply to the groves you already belong to. The organisers approve the stall, or they do not. Approval is theirs.

Example listings

What it looks like on a stall

Three made-up listings on one personal stall. The stall is Nell's porch. The spinney is the one that approved her.

  • Sell

    Spare Saturday loaf

    Nell's porch · Personal stall

    £4.50

    One loaf, collection from the red gate

    1. It lives on Nell's stall

      Nell lists the spare loaf on her personal stall. The listing is a sale: pay, collect, done.

    2. The spinney has already said yes

      Her stall is approved in the parents' spinney, so the loaf shows there as well as on her stall page.

    3. She handles the handover

      Iris pays. Nell marks it ready at the gate. There is no shop assistant in the middle.

    Outgrown wellies

    Nell's porch · Personal stall

    Free

    Size 10, collect after school

    1. Same stall, different listing

      The wellies are a donate listing on the same personal stall as the loaf. Nothing is charged.

    2. Nell picks who collects

      A parent requests them. Nell accepts one request and agrees a time.

    3. The stall stays open

      Once they are collected, that listing closes. The loaf listing is untouched.

    Half-hour of maths

    Nell's porch · Personal stall

    £20

    After school, at the kitchen table

    1. A booking, still on her stall

      Nell adds a service listing: £20, half an hour, the afternoons she is free.

    2. A neighbour books a slot

      The request arrives on the stall. Nell confirms Thursday at 4.

    3. She marks it finished

      When the half-hour is done, she completes the booking. The review sits on her stall.

FAQs

Questions your lot will ask

Who can see my stall?

Neighbours in the spinneys that approve it. You choose how precise your location is, or hide it.

Do I need to be a business?

No. That is what the personal stall is for. A business stall is for a shop or trade.

You do. Messages, collection and payouts stay on your stall.
