ADD FREE ITEMS
- Feel free to upload up to 3 images to best showcase your entry.
- Don't forget to pick a category and add some catchy keywords – they're a must!
- Adding details isn't required, but it's a nice touch that can make your entry shine.
- Just a heads-up: We have some no-go items, so if a listing doesn't fit the bill, we'll have to remove it. The same goes for the rule-bending users.
- All set? Once you've filled in the bits we need, tap the 'Submit' button. The post will not be visible until you have successfully submitted it.
What's next?
- Wait until you are contacted by users nearby. By tapping 'ITEMS' button, head over to my listings, click on an item you listed, and choose a user to give this item. Select from the users you've been contacted by.
- You and the correspondent user will have to arrange a pickup method. It's usually the receiver who will pick it up from you. DoublePi is not involved in either storage or transporting the items listed here.
- This functionality relies on location services. If the current location isn't the designated pickup spot, you should only proceed when confirming the exact spot. Otherwise, the receiving user won't be able to confirm.
- This screen is meant to establish the location of the item, so submit it only if this is where you'd like your item to be picked up from.
- Once the other user picks up the item, they will be asked to confirm and rate its current condition.
GET FREE ITEMS
- Browse or search for an item. Press on a thumbnail. Once redirected to the details screen you have the option to send a message.
- As soon as the item's owner chooses you as a receiver, you'll see a notification with further instructions.
- You and the correspondent user will have to arrange a pickup method. It's usually the receiver who will pick it up.
- When picking up the item, make sure you have your internet and location services turned on, in case you'd like to take advantage of the point system. This is not necessary but it might be something the user who gives the item is looking for.
- Once you pick the item up, you will be asked to inspect it and rate its condition. You'll both get points in different categories.
