How it works
Wassa-Wassa connects you to buy and sell near you, safely. Here is how it works, in a few steps.
1. Create an account
Sign up with your phone number. You receive a confirmation code by SMS or WhatsApp. It’s free.
2. Post a listing
- Click “Post a listing”, pick a category, add a clear title, an honest description and genuine photos;
- Set the price and city; enable Mobile Money payment if you accept secure transactions;
- Your listing goes through a quick moderation before becoming visible.
3. Find a product or service
Use search, categories and filters (city, proximity radius, price, condition). Save favorites and create alerts to be notified of new listings.
4. Buy safely (escrow)
- Click “Buy securely”: your Mobile Money payment is held in escrow, the money is not yet sent to the seller;
- The seller ships (local pickup or travel agency with a parcel number);
- On receipt, you confirm: the funds are then released to the seller;
- If something is wrong, open a dispute from the order: the funds stay held during review.
5. Chat and review
Talk through the internal messaging (never share your secret Mobile Money PINs). After a transaction, leave a review to help the community.
⚠️ Important: only transactions made through secure payment (escrow) are protected. For any payment settled off the platform (cash, direct transfer…), Wassa-Wassa cannot step in.
