Frequently Asked Questions

Account & sign-in

How do I create an account?

Open Create account, enter your email, tick that you accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then type the code we email you. No password is needed.

I did not get the email code. What should I do?

Check your spam or junk folder and make sure the email address is right. Wait a minute, then press Resend.

How do I keep my account safe?

Turn on two-step sign-in with an authenticator app in My account → Security, and never share your codes with anyone. See Account Security.

Can I share or sell my account?

No. An account is for one person only and may not be sold, rented or shared. See Account Rules.

Buying & selling safely

Does Dee Dee Sale handle the payment for items?

No. Buyers and sellers pay each other directly, and we are not responsible for that money. See Buying & Selling.

How do I avoid scams?

Meet in a safe public place, check the item first, never pay before you have seen it and never share your sign-in codes or bank passwords.

What does the verified tick mean?

Our staff checked the seller's identity and store details. It is not a guarantee of the item or the deal.

How do I report an ad or a member?

Use Report on the ad. Our team reviews every report and acts on ads and members that break the rules.

Plans & payments

What can I pay for?

How can I pay?

By card or PromptPay through our payment providers. We never store your full card number.

Can I get a refund?

Paid plans, packages and promotions are not refundable, except for payment errors on our side. See our Refund Policy.

Does a plan renew by itself?

No. A plan or package ends when its days are over; to continue, buy it again.

Posting ads

How do I post an ad?

Sign in, press Post an ad, choose the category, add photos, a title, the price and a description, then publish.

How long does my ad stay on the website?

For the number of days shown when you post it. You can mark it as sold or remove it at any time.

Why was my ad removed?

It broke our rules for ads — for example a wrong category, false details or a forbidden item. See Posting Ads.

How many ads can I post for free?

Each month you can post a number of ads for free; the number is shown when you post. More ads and promotions are paid — see Plans & Payments.

What happens to an ad I did not finish?

If you leave the page while writing, it is saved as a draft for 24 hours. Publish or update it within 24 hours, or it is deleted automatically. See Posting Ads.

Privacy & data

What data do you collect?

Only what is needed to run your account, ads, payments and security. See Data We Collect & Why.

Do you sell my data?

Never. See our Privacy Policy.

How do you use cookies?

To keep you signed in and remember your choices. See our Cookie Policy.

How do I close my account?

Write to us on the Contact Us page from the email of the account. See Account Rules.

Safety & reporting

Which items are not allowed?

Illegal, stolen, fake or dangerous goods and anything our rules forbid. See Posting Ads.

What happens after I report something?

Our team reviews the report and may remove the ad, or limit or suspend the member.

My account was hacked. What should I do?

Tell us at once on the Contact Us page. If it happened because codes were shared or the account was not kept safe, it is suspended permanently — see Account Security.

Stores & business packages

How do I open a store?

A store comes with a business package for verified sellers. Verify your store, choose a package, then set up your store in My account → My store.

What does a business package include?

More live ads and free posts, free bumps and, depending on the package, chat, a store, more photos and a video on every ad.

What happens when my package ends?

Its extra features stop when its days are over. Buy it again to continue — it does not renew by itself.

Store verification

Why should I verify my store?

A verified store shows the verified tick, which buyers trust more, and it is needed for business packages.

What do I need for store verification?

Your store's key details, your name, date of birth and address in your profile, photos of an official document and, when asked, a short face video. Start at My account → Verify my store.

How long does verification take?

Our staff check every request by hand. You receive an email as soon as it is approved, sent back for a fix, or declined.

Is my document safe?

Yes. Files are encrypted, only authorised staff can open them, and they are deleted if you cancel the request. See the Identity Verification Terms.
