How It Works

How to Sell on SUP, Step by Step

Take photos, set your price and post. Buyers chat with you in the app without seeing your number. Here is every step, for selling and for buying.

For Sellers

Selling Something

Most Ads take about a minute. You don’t pay to post, and SUP takes nothing when it sells.

  1. Take a Few Clear Photos

    Photograph the item where it stands, in daylight and from a few angles. Show any scratch or dent: honest photos save an argument at handover.

  2. Add a Title, Price and Details

    Pick a category and SUP asks the right questions, like kilometres for a bike, storage for a phone or seats for a sofa. Set your own price, and mark it negotiable if you’re open to offers.

  3. Say if You’re the Owner or a Dealer

    Every Ad shows Owner or Dealer, so buyers know who they’re talking to before they message.

  4. A Person Checks It, Then It’s Live

    Every Ad is checked by a person before it appears, usually within eight hours. There’s no fee, and no paying to skip the queue.

  5. Chat, Agree a Price and Meet

    Answer buyers in the app without sharing your number. Accept, counter or decline offers, meet somewhere public, and mark the Ad as sold.

For Buyers

Buying Something

Find it near you, check who’s selling, and only pay once you’ve seen it.

  1. Search Near You

    Search or browse by category. Ads near you come first, and each one says whether it’s from an owner or a dealer.

  2. Check the Seller

    See when they joined, how quickly they usually reply, how many items they’ve sold and whether their phone number is verified.

  3. Ask, or Make an Offer

    Ask “Is it still available?” with one tap, or send an offer. If the seller accepts, the Ad is reserved for you.

  4. Inspect, Then Pay

    Meet in a busy public place, check the item properly, and only then pay in cash or UPI. Never pay in advance for something you haven’t seen.

Four Habits That Prevent Most Problems

SUP warns you in chat when something looks wrong. These habits do the rest.

Meet in a Public Place

A busy market, a metro station or a café, in daylight. Bring someone along for anything expensive.

Inspect Before Paying

Test it, check for damage and match serial numbers or papers before any money moves.

Never Scan to Receive

Scanning a QR code or entering your UPI PIN always sends money out. Nobody needs it to pay you.

Keep the Chat on SUP

Scammers move to WhatsApp to avoid warnings and reports. Stay in the app until you’ve met.
