🤝
Meet, trade, leave feedback
Agree on the hand-over in messages, swap the goods, then leave feedback. Deals and good feedback raise your trader level.
Items in an offer are locked
While an offer is open you cannot edit or delete the items in it — so nobody gets a surprise.
Counter-offers
Not quite right? Change the items or the money and send it back. The full history stays visible.
🏷 Buying & selling
Buying & selling for money
Not every deal has to be a trade: sell at a fixed price or take money offers. Items with a price are in Explore under “🏷 Buy”.
🔍 Explore → All ⇄ Trade 🏷 Buy 🎁 Free →Buy now
- 1Tap “Buy for 50 €” on the item
- 2The seller confirms your request
- 3Agree on payment and hand-over in messages
Money offer
- 1Offer an amount — for example 40 €
- 2The seller accepts, or counters with 45 €
- 3Agreed — pay when you get the item
Paying safely
You pay each other directly — Arambla never takes payments and never asks you to pay through a link. Safest is to pay when you get the item. Never send money in advance to someone you do not know. Safety tips →
Buying from a business
Items from business sellers are marked “Business seller”. EU consumer rights apply to them — for example the 14-day right of withdrawal. Between private persons these rules generally do not apply.
🎁 Free
Give away and get for free
Things you no longer need can make someone happy — and you may find something for yourself.

Buyers find it
It appears in the countries you chose — and, for EU countries, in the European Union too. If you send across the EU, people on the other EU country sites also see it under “From across the EU”.
Your country has no site of its own yet?
Choose your country when you sign up — your items appear in the European Union. When your country gets its own site, they move there automatically.
Outside the EU
The United Kingdom, Switzerland and other countries are not in the EU: when you send items across their border, customs duties and import rules may apply. Agree on them before you send.
Good to know

After every deal both sides leave feedback. Deals and good feedback raise your level — from 🌱 Newcomer to 🏆 Top trader.
