How It Works

Selling

[Drop 3 photos]

Agent:
→ "Got it! Creating listings..."
→ "Listed! Here's what I did:
   
   👟 Nike Air Max — KES 3,500
   👟 Adidas Stan Smith — KES 2,800
   👟 Puma Classics — KES 2,200
   
   Distributing to 12,000+ buyers now."

Agent:
→ "📱 Buyer interested!
   Amara wants Nike Air Max for KES 3,500.
   Accept?"

You: "Yes"

Agent:
→ "✅ Payment collected via M-Pesa.
   Ship to: [address]
   Mark shipped when done.
   Funds release on delivery confirmation."

Buying
