Sell it to someone down the road.

Turn surplus into pocket money — or fund the next hobby

What it is

Sell, in a sentence or three

A one-off sale. Someone pays the price on the listing, you hand it over or post it, and the order closes.

Sell

Turn surplus into pocket money — or fund the next hobby

How it works

Three steps. No MBA required.

  1. 1

    Put it on your stall

    Title, photos, price, and whether it is collection or post. If you have more than one, set the stock.

  2. 2

    They pay

    The order stays pending until the card payment clears. After that it shows as paid.

  3. 3

    The order completes

    Once it is collected or delivered, you close the order. Both of you can leave a review.

FAQs

Questions your lot will ask

Do I have to post things?

No. Say on the listing whether it is collection, post, or both. Plenty of sales on Spinney are handed over at the gate.

When do I get paid?

The order shows as paid once the card payment clears. Payouts go to your stall. The timing is on the fees page.

Can I sell more than one?

Yes. Set the stock on the listing and each purchase comes off it as its own order.

What if something is not as described?

Sellers can refund from the order timeline. If you cannot sort it between you, either of you can raise a dispute.

Got something worth passing on?

Open a stall and list it the way you would have posted it in the group chat.
