How It Works

Look for items near you by choosing your neighborhood hub — like Romema Hub or Katamon & German Colony. You can search a whole hub to see everything in that area, or pick a specific street. Items close to home mean an easy pickup.

Most items offer Free Self-Pickup — you go to the seller's neighborhood to collect. Some sellers also offer Seller Drop-Off for a small fee, where they bring the item to your door. Pick whichever works for you.

When you pay, your money goes into Kinyan's escrow — a secure digital piggy bank. The seller can see you've paid, but they don't get the money yet. It stays safe until you confirm you got your item. If anything goes wrong, the money isn't released.

Right after you pay, a Secret PIN appears on your screen — right there, immediately. You'll also find it saved in your dashboard. This PIN is your proof that you're the buyer. You'll give it to the seller when you collect your item.

Go pick up your item (or the seller drops it off). Once you're happy with it, tell the seller your Secret PIN. They type it into their dashboard to release the escrow money to themselves. The deal is done!

Your exact address is kept 100% secret. Public listings only show a nearby main street. Exact details are revealed to the verified buyer only after payment.

When someone buys your item, their payment is held safely in Kinyan's escrow. You'll get a notification in your dashboard. The money is real and secured — you just need to finish the handover to receive it.

When the buyer comes to collect the item, ask them for their Secret PIN. They got it right after paying. This PIN proves they're the real buyer — only the person who paid has it.

Enter the buyer's Secret PIN in your dashboard. This releases the escrow money straight to you. That's it — the deal is complete and you've been paid!
