Buying things on Leboncoin

And you don’t think it might be confused with the former Duran Duran singer’s admittedly not very well-known attempts at science fiction?

Very possibly! Although you may be thinking of MC Emmaus, the rap artist who offers upcycled and resampled tunes at affordable prices…

Finally got a response to my message just saying - “Non plus dispo” . Ah well…

I generally modify a word or price to bump them up the listings.

Good idea, I actually had interest again this weekend!

Just a question for all you LeBonCoin users. I’ve sent a message to a seller asking whether the goods are still available. If they are, payment seems to be via Leboncoin secure payment. I read the description several times and am really none the wiser. The site mentions releasing the payment via mobile phone when I get there. How does that work? I don’t use my phone for banking at all.

You pay leboncoin beforehand. Leboncoin guards the money in their secure payment locker. on receipt of a text from the registered mobile number leboncoin have for you, the locker is opened and the money heads off to the seller.

Thanks @Adam1 . I wondered how that could work. Texts I can do!!

Just had another thought @Adam1 - how do I know where to send the text? Do they send me one first?
