Open the listing and use one of the contact options the seller has enabled, such as Dodolist chat, WhatsApp, phone or email. Ask about the item’s condition, availability and collection before agreeing to buy.

How do I find items near me?

Search for what you need, browse a category or choose a district. Use the location filters to narrow your results, and check the location shown on each listing before arranging collection.

How do payment and collection work?

You agree the price, payment method and collection or delivery directly with the seller. Dodolist does not collect the payment or arrange shipping. Inspect the item before paying and avoid sending money in advance to someone you do not know.

Can I use Dodolist on my phone?

Yes. You can use the Dodolist app on iPhone or Android, or visit the website in your phone’s browser. Browse listings, post ads and keep in touch with sellers while you are on the go.
