How WantedPost works

Most marketplaces make you scroll through what sellers happen to have listed. WantedPost flips that. You say what you want. Sellers come to you.

For Buyers

Post literally anything you're looking for

There's no gatekeeping on what you can post. New or used. One unit or a truckload. A physical product or a service. Any budget. Any condition. If you want it, post it — and let sellers find you instead of you hunting through page after page of listings that don't quite fit.

For Sellers

Respond to buyers who already want what you have

WantedPost is open to anyone with something to sell or a service to offer — it doesn't matter whether you're an individual clearing out a garage or a business moving inventory. The advantage is the same for everyone: every buyer has already told you exactly what they want and what they'll pay. You're not guessing.

🏠

Individuals & private sellers

Have something at home that matches a buyer's want? Make an offer. No storefront or business license needed.

🏪

Retailers & resellers

Search the board for products you carry or can source. Skip the advertising — respond only to buyers who've already said yes to your category.

📦

Wholesalers & distributors

Bulk and quantity requests show up here. Find buyers who need exactly the kind of volume you move, without competing on a crowded listing marketplace.

🔧

Contractors & service providers

Service wants — installation, repair, cleaning, hauling — appear right alongside product wants. Browse by category and bid on the jobs that fit your schedule.

🌾

Local producers & farmers

Find buyers who specifically want local produce, farm goods, or agricultural products. No middleman, no platform cut.

🛠️

Specialty & niche sellers

Have something hard to sell because demand is scattered? Buyers who post here are already looking for it — you don't have to create the demand.

💡

The key difference: On a traditional marketplace, you list something and hope the right buyer stumbles across it. On WantedPost, buyers announce their need publicly — so when you make an offer, you already know there's someone who wants what you have, at a price close to yours.

The flow

From post to deal — step by step

Here's exactly what happens when a buyer posts a want and a seller responds.

1

Buyer posts a want

Create a free account and describe what you're looking for: a title, details about condition or specs, your location, how far you're willing to travel, and your maximum budget. Posts are visible to anyone browsing the board — no login required to view.

Takes about 2 minutes. No photos required.
2

The want appears on the public board

Your post shows up on the WantedPost board immediately — sorted by category and searchable. Sellers browsing the board, or subscribed to category alerts, can see it right away.

3

Sellers make offers

Any seller with what you need can submit an offer: their asking price, a description of what they have, and their location. Sellers don't need to negotiate in the open — each offer is submitted privately and only the buyer sees it.

Sellers must have a free account to make an offer.
4

Buyer reviews and accepts

You'll get notified when offers come in. Review all of them from your dashboard — price, description, seller location — and accept the one that works best for you. You can decline the rest, or leave them open if you want to keep options.

5

Buyer and seller connect

Once an offer is accepted, both parties can message each other directly through WantedPost to arrange the details — pickup, delivery, payment method. The transaction itself happens outside the platform, however works best for both of you.

No platform fee. No payment processing. Cash, Venmo, whatever you agree on.
6

Mark it fulfilled

Once the deal is done, the buyer marks their want as fulfilled and both parties can leave a rating. Fulfilled wants drop off the active board so sellers always know you still need it until it's marked done.

Common questions

FAQ

Is WantedPost free?
Yes — completely free for both buyers and sellers. Posting a want is free. Making an offer is free. Messaging is free. There are no listing fees, no subscriptions, and no charges to use any feature on the platform.
Do I need a business account to sell?
No. There's one type of account that works for everyone. Whether you're an individual selling something from your garage or a business responding to commercial requests, you sign up the same way. You can describe your business in your offer if you want buyers to know who they're dealing with.
Does WantedPost take a cut of transactions?
No. WantedPost connects buyers and sellers, but the transaction happens entirely between the two of you — outside the platform. Cash, check, Venmo, PayPal, whatever you both agree on. WantedPost never touches the money and takes no percentage.
Can I post wants for services, not just physical goods?
Yes. Services are fully supported — lawn care, fence installation, appliance repair, moving help, tutoring, photography, you name it. Use the Services category, or whichever category fits best (contractors often fit under Tools & Equipment or Home & Garden depending on the job).
I posted a want. How long until I get offers?Honest answer

It depends, and we want to be straight with you: WantedPost is early. The marketplace is growing, which means offer response times vary — some wants get responses quickly, others take longer, especially if you're looking for something niche or in a less-populated area.

The good news is that you don't have to do anything while you wait. Your post stays live, and any seller who matches your need — today, next week, or next month — can find it and make an offer. You'll get an email notification the moment one comes in.

The most reliable way to speed things up is to keep your post detailed (good descriptions attract more confident sellers), be flexible on budget if you can, and check back to see if there are any offers you've missed.

What happens after I accept an offer?
You and the seller can message each other directly on WantedPost to arrange the exchange — pickup location, delivery, payment method, timing. Once everything's sorted and the deal is done, mark your want as fulfilled from your dashboard. You'll also have the option to rate the seller, which helps the community over time.
Can I edit or delete my want after posting?
Yes. From your dashboard you can update your want's description, budget, or status at any time, and delete it if you no longer need it. If you found what you were looking for somewhere else, mark it as fulfilled so sellers know not to reach out.

Every post makes this
work better for everyone

WantedPost is still in its early days, and we think that's actually a good place to be. The platform works because buyers post and sellers show up — and the more of both there are, the faster it builds momentum. Every want you post adds something real for sellers to respond to. Every offer a seller makes is another reason for buyers to stick around. You're not just looking for something — you're building the marketplace by using it. Post what you're looking for, and let's see who's out there.
