Terms of service

You need an account to buy or sell, you must be old enough to enter a contract where you live, and the details on your profile must be true. One person, one account. You are responsible for anything that happens under yours.

Every item is owned, described, priced and handed over by an individual member. GD DEAL does not inspect items, take possession of them, or guarantee their condition, legality or fitness for any purpose. The sale contract is between the buyer and the seller.

This is the part that makes GD DEAL different, so read it properly.

• By activating a listing, you authorise GD Agent to answer buyer questions, negotiate the price and offer pickup times on your behalf, within the rules you set.
• GD Agent will never agree a price below the private minimum you entered, and will never reveal that minimum.
• If you chose Ask Me, GD Agent negotiates but will not close below your approval threshold without you.
• A price GD Agent agrees inside your rules is an agreement you are expected to honour.
• GD Agent answers from the details you provided. If you give it wrong information, the buyer gets wrong information — keep your listing accurate.
• When GD Agent doesn't know something, it asks you. Answer promptly so the buyer isn't left waiting.

• Only list items you actually own and are legally allowed to sell.
• Describe condition and faults honestly, and use real photos of the actual item.
• Keep your availability current so booked pickups are times you can genuinely make.
• Mark items sold or remove them once they are gone.
• Turn up for pickups you agreed to, on time.

• Only make offers you intend to honour.
• Turn up to booked pickups, or cancel in the deal chat as early as you can.
• Inspect the item before you pay — payment ends the deal.
• Treat sellers and their homes with respect.

You may not list weapons, ammunition, drugs, prescription medicines, tobacco, alcohol, live animals, stolen or counterfeit goods, recalled products, adult content, personal data, or anything else illegal where the pickup happens.

You may not harass, threaten, discriminate against or spam other members, scrape the marketplace, attempt to extract another member's private data, or try to get GD Agent to reveal a seller's minimum price or home address.

Payments are processed by Stripe. The buyer's card is placed on hold when a pickup is booked and is only charged when the seller confirms the handoff with the buyer's QR or 6-digit code; the hold is released if the pickup is cancelled. Follow the guidance on the safe meetup page.

Fees. Listing on GD DEAL is free and there are no subscriptions. When a sale is completed, GD DEAL deducts a flat 12.9% commission from the seller's payout. Buyers pay only the agreed price; GD DEAL covers card processing fees. Listings must be priced at $5 or more.

Either side can cancel a deal with the Cancel deal button. Cancelling before a pickup is booked, or more than 24 hours before a booked pickup, carries no penalty. Cancelling less than 24 hours before a booked pickup lowers the pickup reliability score of the person who cancels only — the other party is never penalised.

If the other person doesn't appear, use the No-show button: the deal closes, the absence is recorded against their account, and the item stays listed. Repeated late cancellations or no-shows can lead to account restrictions.

Reviews can only be left after a completed deal, and they must be honest and about the transaction. We may remove reviews that are abusive, false, or used as leverage in a dispute.

We may remove a listing, restrict a feature or suspend an account that breaks these terms, and we may review deal conversations while investigating a report or dispute.

GD DEAL is provided as-is. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for the condition, safety or legality of items, for what happens at an in-person meeting, for payment disputes between members, or for indirect losses arising from the use of the service.

We may update these terms as the product changes. Material changes will be announced in the app, and continuing to use GD DEAL after that means accepting the updated terms.
