Seller & buyer stories

Trusted by thousands across Kenya.

I used to sell only to people who walked past my shop in Gikomba. Now I ship to Kisumu and Eldoret every week, and the M-Pesa payment clears before I even pack the parcel.
JM

Joseph MutisoClothing seller, Nairobi

I bought a fridge for my salon and paid with M-Pesa in about ten seconds. The seller was verified, the price was fair, and I could track the delivery the whole way.

Cynthia AchiengBuyer, Kisumu

As a spare-parts dealer, the seller dashboard is what keeps me here. I upload thirty items in an evening and edit prices the moment the market shifts.
