Questions people actually ask

- What is Exprifi, in one sentence?
- It's a marketplace turned around: instead of scrolling listings hoping someone has what you want, you post what you want with a budget, and sellers bring it to you.
- Do I need an account to look around?
- No. The board, every open need and every public profile are visible to anyone. You need a free account only to act — post a need, make an offer, or counter.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing today. Posting needs, making offers and closing deals are all free while we build liquidity. When fees do start, sellers keep 100%and we'll give at least 30 days' notice — founding members hear first.
- Why can't I see other people's offers?
- Offers are private between the seller who made one and the buyer who posted the need. Public offers turn a marketplace into a race to the bottom and hand every seller's pricing to their competitors. You can see how manyoffers a need has — that's the signal that matters — but never what they say.
- Why is there no chat?
- On purpose. Negotiation happens through structured offers and counters, so there's always a record of what was proposed and agreed. Free text is how deals get pulled into DMs, and a deal in a DM has no record, no dispute path and no recourse if it goes wrong.
- When does someone learn who I am?
- You trade under your username. Identities stay masked until a deal is agreed — at which point the two of you need real details to actually complete it.
- How long does a need stay up?
- You choose the window when you post. A countdown shows on the card, and it turns amber in the last stretch. You can also save a need privately as a wishlist and publish it later — the clock starts when you publish, not when you write it.
- How do I get told when something matches?
- Set up a demand alert. Describe what you can supply — keyword, sport, type, price range — and you'll be notified the moment a buyer posts a need that fits. It's the fastest way to be first to a new need, and being first is most of the game.
- Someone asked me to take the deal off-platform. What do I do?
- Don't, and report it. It's against the rules and it's the opening move of nearly every scam in this hobby. Forward the details to support@exprifi.comand we'll handle it.
- I think I've been sent a fake.
- Email support@exprifi.com straight away with photos and the deal details. Suspected counterfeiting is treated as fraud and is a permanent ban on the first offence.
