Messaging buyers and sellers
Ask questions and arrange collections.
Use messages to ask a seller a question before you buy, or to arrange a collection after you've paid.
Starting a chat
- Before buying: tap Message next to the seller's name on the item page.
- After buying or selling: tap Message on the order page.
You'll find all your chats under Messages at the top of the page. A number shows how many have unread messages.
Notifications
We'll email you when someone messages you. If they send a few in a row, you'll get one email, not one per message.
Order updates in the chat
When an item is paid for or posted, we add a short note to the chat so you both know where things are.
Staying safe
- Keep conversations on Sharewear. There's no need to share phone numbers or email addresses.
- Never pay by bank transfer or any other way outside Sharewear. Why
- If someone's rude, suspicious or asks you to pay another way, tap the menu (⋮) in the chat and choose Report.
