Le Bon Coin

[hughnique]

Naylor's Ark, I wonder if you would be so kind as to give me a bit of guidance, I have an offer on an item and have received and printed out the delivery note to stick to the parcel.
It bears a motif "Shop2Shop", and the destination is Carrefour express 49250. after that I am lost, I would assume that I need to package the item and stick the etiquette on it and then take it somewhere to start the delivery process? After the parcel is received by the buyer, what happens then, how is the money transmitted to me?? Thanks in advance.

@hughnique
Yes, you are almost there.
1. Box up your item (take a photo of the inside of the parcel). Send the photo via the app to the buyer to show how it was packed.
2. Stick the shop2shop ticket on the parcel and drop it into your nearest chronopost shop (find your nearest shop on chronoshop2shop.fr). They will scan the barcode on the ticket and take the parcel. That's it.
3. You will receive a message in the LeBonCoin app to confirm the item has been dropped off.
4. You can then track the parcel in the app.

(We prefer to use Mondial relay. You just pop the parcel in one of their boxes. Because they're available 24/7. )

Once the item has been collected by the buyer you will receive a message in the app. They have 48hrs to confirm all is ok. When they confirm all is good (or once 48hrs has passed) the money goes into your LeBonCoin wallet.

You need to your bank account to the wallet so you can then have the money transferred into your bank account, or you can leave it in the wallet and use it to make purchases on LeBonCoin yourself.

Thanks for that yes parceled it up but didn't take any photos, he has been actively communicating with me and hasn't mentioned any thing about photos. Took it to the local SuperU and they did exactly what you have said, confirmation received that it is awaiting dispatch, in the meantime bank details have been supplied to Leboncoin, all in all, so far very pleased with it. I have tended to shrink away from this delivery system as it seems to attract scammers, that then means I miss a sale so next time I will definitely be able to send it by whatever means. It seemed a bit ludicrous when someone wanted to buy a dining table and six chairs, and proposed that they were using Colissimo at 9.99€. Once again thanks for the info.

@hughnique
The photos are for your benefit. As proof of how it was packed / how it looked before posting. Just incase of any future dispute.

I will listen and learn, only a couple of tuffeau saws for 25€ so no big deal this time.

When searching for small inexpensive items I don't bother looking at those for which delivery is not offered and are not local.
I don't understand why someone would rather wait around for a buyer to turn up at their house rather than spend a few minutes packing up a small item. Besides which, payment through Leboncoin is guaranteed
When selling, if appropriate, I add into my price a small amount for my time and expense for packing and taking to the PUDO.

Because some of us old farts don't have a clue about the system until we jump off the bridge and experience it. I have now made that leap and will be confident at sending something in the future. Like another esteemed poster I don't have a smartphone so these squares that appear for scanning mean very little to me.

I don't have a smartphone, so I print the "square" - QR/quick response code, and show it to the person at a pick up/drop off point, or hold it in front of the machine at a Locker installation.

My mass clear-out includes a few lengths of copper pipe ,10, a host of copper and brass fittings, I have come to the conclusion that the era of plumbing with copper is at an end, so down the scrappy and get it weighed in, whatever is better than dumping it eventually.

Well the first one went well and the vast amount of 25€ has now been squirrelled away to my proper bank account, that one was effected by Shop2Shop ad I got a signed receipt from the relais point. After some faffing about with a time waster I have now secured a second sale on another item, however this buyer wants a Mondial Relay delivery. Am I correct in assuming that this system uses the banks of boxes outside supermarkets, and you scan the barcode a box springs open and you deposit your parcel inside, hopefully the boxes are of ample volume, but does it print out a receipt for you??
