How it works
Three steps. No MBA required.
- 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
They pay
The order stays pending until the card payment clears. After that it shows as paid.
- 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.
