The truth is that buying on Wallapop is not complicated at all. It is evident that it had to be this way, since otherwise few people would lend themselves to buying or selling.

We must be clear about what we want to buy and how much money we are going to spend, since it will be quite normal for the same product to be presented at different prices, after all, it is sold by individuals who put the value they want.

We must not forget this premise of our budget at any time, since, if it is this way, we can fall into the temptation of going overboard and when we realize we have paid too much money.

Starting from that base is when we will see how we can buy on Wallapop.

If we agree, it is time to click on the chat button at the bottom to talk to the seller, ask him any questions and try to renegotiate the price a bit.

If we don’t want to wait or talk to the seller because the price seems good to us, we can also click on the Buy button (this button does not always appear) and purchase it using our credit or debit card.

Once we click there, the Wallapop payment platform will open where we must choose the payment method and shipping address, being able to select that instead of our address, arrive at a post Office so we can pick it up.

There are vendors who only they sell in the area where they live and that they mark it in the product description. In other words, if a seller wants to hand-deliver what he sells, the normal thing is that stay somewhere, he gives it to you, you pay for it and that’s it.

This is a good way to have the product very quickly, since you will not have to wait for it to be sent and then for the delivery company to deliver it to you at home.

Even so, we advise you that, if you opt for this type of sale, stay in a crowded place, where there are enough people and that you do not go alone. This is not to scare you, but it is a good precaution for what could happen.
