How to post what you want to buy on Wantie
On Wantie, buyers go first. Describe the item, pick a category, set the budget you will actually pay, and name a location. Nearby sellers browse that Want and reply in Messages.
Wantie does not email you about offers or messages. Check Messages, turn on notifications, or save your private restore link. The sale happens off-platform — Wantie is the conduit, not the checkout.
If a city or item page looks empty, nobody has posted a public Want there yet. Post the first one. We do not invent listings or seller counts.

Common questions
How do I post what I want to buy?
Describe the item, set a budget, add a location, and publish. Sellers who have it — or can get it — reply in Messages on Wantie. You close the deal off-platform.
Where do replies show up?
In Messages on the site. Wantie does not email you about offers, messages, or post status. Turn on notifications or save your private restore link.
Does posting obligate me to buy?
No. A Want is an invitation for offers, not a contract. You can decline every offer or close the Want without doing a deal.
What if my city has no Wants yet?
The page stays empty until someone posts a real Want. That is honest — we do not pad the list. Post the first one so sellers have something to answer.
