Frequently Asked Questions
Our marketplace caters to three types of users: Customers, Sellers, and Advertisers. We provide a platform for buying, selling, renting, and auctioning products either new or pre-owned.

We offer a seamless rental process that allows you to access the products you need without the commitment of purchasing. Here’s how our rental system works:
– Browse & Choose: Explore our diverse rental collection. Select your desired item and rental period.

– Return the Rental: Once your rental period is complete, return the item to the Seller as per the agreed-upon method.
– Care for the Rental: We kindly request that you treat the rental items with care during your usage period.
Our return policy depends on the individual seller’s policies. Each seller sets their own return and refund policies, so it’s essential to review the specific shop’s policies before making a purchase. We encourage buyers to communicate with sellers to resolve any issues and handle returns or exchanges on a case-by-case basis.
If the seller allows for a return, the customer then has 10 days to return the item.
