Questions? We're here to help ↗

Platform access. Not item checkout.

Seller plans and HocaCredits cover the Hocalist platform. Item payment remains between buyer and seller, offline. Explore current options on the billing website.

Seller billing ↗
Let's clear a few things up.

Good questions.

Is Hocalist a shop?

Hocalist is a reverse marketplace. Buyers post requests and sellers respond with offers. Products and services are paid for directly between the buyer and seller, outside Hocalist.

Can I talk with more than one seller?

Yes. You can explore multiple offers and conversations before choosing one final seller for your purchase.

What do sellers pay for?

Seller subscriptions and HocaCredits cover platform access and targeting. Current options and terms are shown in seller billing; they do not pay for the item itself.

How do buyers receive offers?

Post the product or service, approximate area and budget. Sellers respond with relevant details, condition and availability.

When does chat open?

Chat opens after you select a seller's offer, so you can finalize the meeting and details. You can explore several negotiations and designate one final purchase seller.

Can I cancel my seller plan?

Cancellation follows the account billing terms shown during the seller plan flow. Read cancellation terms ↗

Are seller credits refundable?

Review the terms for the credit product purchased; used credits and consumed placements are generally not refundable. Read the refund policy ↗

One ask could change your day.

Your next good find
might be closer than you think.
