A P2P marketplace platform for every kind of neighbourhood.
In a peer to peer marketplace most sellers sell a few things a year. The software has to make posting quick, contact safe and a stranger worth trusting.
From the first search to the review.
Loop is a demo buy-and-sell site made with Yclas. The members and their listings are made up.
Peer to peer marketplace software has to make posting easy.
Private sellers give up on long forms. On Yclas a seller starts from a photo on their phone, and AI can write the title, category, description and a suggested price for them to check. Listings expire on their own, and a "mark as sold" button keeps the site honest.
- Your fields: condition, size, brand, pick-up or delivery.
- AI from a photo: 50, 100 or 500 a month, by plan.
Talk, haggle and agree without sharing a phone number.
Buyers message the seller on the site, send photos, and make an offer the seller can accept, decline or counter. Push notifications bring both back when there is an answer. If a message looks like a known scam, safety tips appear in the chat.
- Inbox sorting and a "needs your action" list.
- AI reply drafts for sellers who get the same question often.
Reviews nobody can trade, badges people can check.
Buyers review sellers, and for deals paid on the site you can switch on double-blind reviews: buyer and seller each write one without seeing the other's, so nobody holds a bad review back to get a good one. Members can verify their identity for an ID verified badge, and every report lands in your moderation queue.
- AI moderation holds suspicious listings for you; nothing is deleted on its own.
- Stay safe tips on every listing page.
Buy now, with the money held until it arrives.
When members are not in the same town, they need to pay online. Switch on Buy now and a listing gets a price, stock and shipping. On the Marketplace plan the payment waits until the buyer confirms delivery, and if something goes wrong the buyer opens a dispute that you decide.
- Buy now, returns and disputes from Professional.
- Payment held until delivery and your commission on Marketplace.

What is peer to peer marketplace software?
Software for a site where private people sell to each other, rather than businesses to consumers. It covers listings, search, messages, offers, reviews and moderation, and sometimes online payment.
Is Yclas good peer to peer marketplace software for a small town?
Yes. Local buy and sell is where Yclas began, in 2009. Map search, pick-up fields and the Share your site kit are made for it.
Can buyers pay on the site?
Yes, with Buy now from Professional. On Marketplace the payment can be held until the buyer confirms delivery.
How do I stop scams?
Choose a moderation mode, use banned words and the blacklist, and switch on AI moderation. Safety tips show in chat when a message looks like a known scam.
Are reviews fair to both sides?
Buyers can review sellers on every plan. For deals paid on the site you can switch on double-blind reviews: each side's review is held until the other has written theirs, or a few days have passed, so nobody can retaliate.
Can members swap or give things away?
Yes. Make a category for free items or for swaps, with its own fields.
Is there an app?
The site works like an app on a phone, with push notifications and an icon on the home screen.
