Yes! Sellers can register on our platform and list their clearance food, surplus groceries, soft drinks, beverages, cleaning products, laundry products, toiletries, household items, tinned food, canned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, or any excess inventory. All sellers go through an approval process to ensure quality and trust.
All items sold on our platform are in good condition with approaching best-before dates (not expired). Best-before dates indicate quality, not safety. However, we recommend checking items upon receipt and using your judgment.
We accept secure bank transfers. Funds are held in escrow until you receive your items, providing protection for both buyers and sellers.
Shipping arrangements are made between the buyer and seller after a successful auction. Shipping costs are typically included in the auction or arranged separately. Sellers ship items once payment is confirmed.
Our mission is to reduce food waste by connecting sellers with clearance stock to buyers looking for great deals. Every item sold on our platform is one less item in the bin, helping us aim for zero waste.
Returns are handled on a case-by-case basis. If items don't match the description or are damaged, contact us within 48 hours of receipt. We work with sellers to resolve any issues.
To become a verified seller, complete the seller registration process, provide business documentation, and go through our approval process. Verified sellers receive a badge and increased trust from buyers.
