Six steps from search to doorstep
1Step 1
Find what you are looking for
Search by name, brand or model, or browse categories. Filters for price, condition and city narrow thousands of listings down to the few that fit.
- Describe what you want in plain words; AI search understands searches like “iPhone under 80,000 in Lahore”.
- Use nearby and city filters to find items you can see in person or collect quickly.
- Live auctions show what is being sold right now, with real-time bidding.
2Step 2
Check the item and the seller
Look through every photo and read the whole description before you commit. A minute of checking saves a lot of trouble later.
- Zoom in on the photos and look for the condition, brand label and any damage.
- Check the seller’s profile: verified badges, BoliTrust™ rating and reviews from past buyers.
- Ask questions in BoliApp chat, or use the Call or WhatsApp button if the seller has turned it on.
3Step 3
Save favourites and get alerts
Not ready to decide? Tap the heart to save a listing, and watch auctions you are interested in so you never miss the ending.
- Your favourites are kept in one place so you can compare items side by side.
- Turn on notifications to hear about new bids, price changes and auctions ending soon.
- Follow stores you like to see their new stock first.
4Step 4
Bid, or Buy Now
Fixed-price items can be bought straight away with Buy Now. For auctions, place a bid; the highest bid when the timer ends wins.
- Set a maximum bid: BoliApp bids for you, one step at a time, up to that amount. Your maximum stays secret from other bidders.
- Some auctions also have a Buy Now price, so you can end the auction early by paying it.
- For direct sales marked negotiable, make an offer or agree the price with the seller in chat.
5Step 5
Pay safely through BoliApp
When you buy or win, an order is created and you pay at checkout, just like any online shop. Add a coupon code there if you have one.
- Pay through BoliApp checkout and wallet wherever buyer protection applies, so your money is protected if something goes wrong.
- Never send advance payments to a personal account, and never share OTPs or passwords with anyone.
- For local direct deals, meet in a busy public place and check the item before you pay.
6Step 6
Receive, check and review
Follow your order until it arrives. Open the parcel, check the item matches the listing, then leave a fair review for the seller.
- Track the order status from your orders page and chat with the seller about delivery.
- If the item is wrong, damaged or missing, open a dispute from Disputes in your workspace so Trust & Safety can help.
- Honest reviews help other buyers and reward good sellers with a higher BoliTrust™ score.
Smart buyer tips
Habits that help you get better deals and stay safe.
Compare before you commit
Look at a few similar listings to learn the going price. A deal far below the market is usually a warning sign, not a bargain.
Bid with a limit
Decide your top price before the auction ends and set it as your maximum bid. Let BoliApp bid for you instead of chasing the last seconds.
Keep the chat on BoliApp
Agreements made in BoliApp chat are on record if there is ever a dispute. Be careful of sellers who push you to talk elsewhere.
Trust the signals
Verified badges, a strong BoliTrust™ score and recent reviews are the best signs that a seller is reliable.
