Who can sell online on Flipns?
Anybody in India with something to sell and no wish to build a website for it. Individuals, shops and local businesses can publish whatever they sell through the same simple flow, then share their public catalogue with nearby buyers.
- Somebody selling one thing — a phone, a sofa, a bike — and wanting it gone this week
- A shop with stock on shelves and no online presence at all
- A reseller or dealer who lists constantly and needs a page to send people to
- An owner or agent with property to sell or rent, or an employer with a role to fill
What should you include in an online listing?
Include clear photos of the actual item, its brand or model, condition, any faults, what is included, your asking price and the city where it is available. Check every detail against the item before publishing.
Keep private information out of your photos and description: home addresses, identity documents, account details and passwords do not belong in a public listing.
How do you sell online for free?
Create a free account and pick a handle. The handle is the address of your public page, so choose it the way you would choose a shop sign.
Add clear photos and accurate details, choose your asking price and review your listing before publishing. Creating and publishing a listing is free.
Check the draft, set the price you actually want, and publish. An active published listing gets a public URL that anyone can open without an account and can appear in Flipns browsing and search.
Repeat for the rest of your stock. Once you have a few items up, flipns.com/u/<your-handle> is a public catalogue you can put on a signboard, a bill, a WhatsApp status or a visiting card.
How much does it cost to sell on Flipns?

How do I sell furniture online in India?
List the actual piece with its dimensions, material, condition and clear photographs, including any damage. Explain whether it can be dismantled and what is included. Compare similar furniture in your area before setting an asking price; the original purchase price alone does not establish what it is worth today.
Agree viewing and collection with the buyer in chat. Discuss stairs, lift access and transport before either person makes a journey, and share precise collection details privately when needed. Flipns does not arrange a collection service or guarantee a sale. Confirm payment in your own banking app before handing the item over.
Selling more than one of something
A listing can carry multiple units, so a shop with ten of the same item lists it once and the quantity goes down as it sells rather than the listing being duplicated ten times.
Shop stock and one-off items sit side by side under the same profile. Condition is a field on every listing — brand new, like new, excellent, good, fair, or for parts — so buyers filtering for new stock find yours, and buyers hunting for a bargain still see it.
How buyers find what you list
Buyers can browse categories, search for an item and explore the map. Clear photos, an accurate description and a suitable asking price help them decide whether to contact you.
Every active listing and seller catalogue has a public link you can share. Buyers can open the link to see photos, asking prices, condition and seller details before contacting the seller.
Share your seller catalogue with customers who want to explore more of your stock. Keep availability up to date and answer questions in chat.
How can you help buyers choose your listing?
Use clear photographs in daylight, describe wear honestly, and compare your asking price with similar items in the same condition. Share your public listing link and answer questions about the item, collection and price.
If an item is not attracting enquiries, check whether the photos show it clearly, the description answers common questions and the price reflects its condition. Optional promotion can increase visibility, but it does not guarantee a buyer.
Can you sell on Flipns outside India?
Buying and selling are currently available in India. Participation and paid features depend on the country associated with your account; the app shows when they are unavailable.
Public listing and seller profile links can be viewed from outside India without signing in. Viewing a public page does not enable buying or selling in an unsupported country.
How do payments and collection work?
Flipns does not process item payments, hold money in escrow or arrange shipping. You agree a price in chat and settle it directly with the buyer — which means the safety rules are yours to apply, and they are short.
Use reporting and blocking controls if something is wrong. Keep conversations in Flipns chat and check profiles, badges and reviews before arranging a deal.
Being asked to move to another app immediately, or to accept a “refundable” advance, are the two most common openings of a marketplace scam in India. Both are easy to decline.

Can I list multiple units of the same product?

Do I need a GST number to sell on Flipns?
Flipns does not ask for one: you can create an account and publish listings without a GSTIN. Whether your business needs GST registration is a separate question that depends on your own circumstances, so check the official GST portal at gst.gov.in or ask a tax professional. The Flipns guide to selling online without GST summarises the official turnover limits.
How do buyers pay me?
Directly, when you meet. Flipns does not process item payments, hold escrow or arrange delivery. Always confirm the money has arrived in your own banking or UPI app before handing anything over — a payment screenshot is not proof.
