Tips for buyers and sellers

Ask to see appliances running before you pay, and measure stairwells and lifts before buying furniture. Private sellers often exclude warranty with "sold as seen"; if a seller deliberately hides a defect, that exclusion does not apply (Art. 199 Swiss Code of Obligations). Since September 2024, cherry laurel, butterfly bush and other invasive plants may no longer be sold or given away. Any shop that sells electrical appliances must take back used ones of the same type free of charge. More advice in our safety tips.

Frequently asked questions

Can I give furniture away for free?

Yes. Choose the price type "Free" when you create the listing. Standard listings on swissmax are free anyway.

How should I pay on collection?

Cash or TWINT is best, and only once you have seen and checked the item. Never pay strangers in advance.

How do I set a fair price?

Compare similar listings and factor in age and condition. Our guide on pricing second-hand items helps.
