How to Buy Safely & Smartly
Discover how easy it is to find exactly what you're looking for, negotiate the best price, and make safe transactions on Bid or Buy.
Find Your Item
Use our powerful search bar or browse through specific categories to find what you need. You can filter by county to find sellers located right in your neighborhood.
Contact the Seller
Found something you love? Use our secure built-in chat, call the seller directly, or tap the WhatsApp button. You can also use the "Make an Offer" feature to negotiate a better deal!
Meet & Inspect
Arrange to meet the seller in a safe, public location like a mall, busy cafe, or workplace. Take your time to thoroughly inspect the item to ensure it matches the description.
Pay Safely
Only hand over the cash or complete the M-PESA transfer after you have inspected the item and are completely satisfied. Enjoy your new purchase!
The Golden Rule
Never pay in advance! Do not send any money via M-PESA or bank transfer before you have met the seller and seen the item in person.
