How Fylo works

Fylo structures and facilitates the transaction. We do not currently hold or process the purchase payment.

Buying

  1. 1Browse

    Look through structured listings with proper photos and clear condition detail.

  2. 2Reserve

    Reserve the item so the seller knows you're serious. Nothing is paid on Fylo.

  3. 3Meet

    We help coordinate a handover time and a sensible meeting place.

  4. 4Inspect

    Check the item in person against what the listing said.

  5. 5Pay the seller directly

    If you're happy, pay the seller using whatever you both agree on.

  6. 6Confirm handover

    Let us know the trade is done so we can close the reservation.
