How it works
Five simple steps from browsing to a happy handover.
Browse
Look around for free, no account needed.
Chat and offer
Message the seller and make an offer.
$0.99 lock-in
Once you agree on a price, the buyer pays $0.99 to lock in the deal.
Meet and check in
Pick a time, meet up, and both tap "I'm here".
Rate
Rate each other so the next person knows who to trust.
Safer by design
The things that go wrong on other marketplaces are what we built FLIP IT! to stop.
ID-verified locals
To buy or sell, everyone passes a one-time ID check with a live selfie.
Chat keeps details private
Contact details and exact locations are blocked in chat until pickup is arranged.
Scam warnings
Chats that look like common scams show a warning banner to the other person.
No-show warnings
Back out after the fee or don't turn up and you get a warning. Three warnings pause the account for two weeks.
Private rego and VIN
On cars, the rego and VIN stay private until a pickup time is agreed.
Private sellers only
No businesses on the Marketplace, and no firearms.
Price smarts
Know if it's a fair deal before you message.
Good price and Steal
Banners show how far under similar listings in your state an item is priced.
Price drops
See how much a seller has cut the price since posting, and save items to be told when they drop.
Snipe alerts
Tell us what you're after and get notified the moment a match is posted.
Simple fees
