Our plan. Dates can move if a store review takes longer.

Get ready for day one.

While you wait, pick what you have at home that you no longer use. We will estimate what it could sell for when Celis opens, using typical prices for used items.

  1. 1Pick your items
  2. 2See your total
  3. 3List them free

Example price ranges for used items in good condition. What you get depends on the item and the buyer.

Selling takes a minute.

No shop, no fees, no waiting for someone to come by.

  1. 1

    Snap a few photos.

    Take pictures right in the app. Add a price and a sentence about it.

  2. 2

    Chat with buyers.

    People near you message you in the app. Your number stays private.

  3. 3

    Meet and get paid.

    Meet in a busy public place. They check the item and pay you in cash, ZAAD, or eDahab. It all goes to you.

No listing feesNo commissionPaid in person

Most marketplaces leave you to work out who to trust. Celis checks people, watches for scams, and only counts reviews from deals that really happened.

For shops and creators

Shops sell here too.

Phone shops, furniture showrooms, and boutiques in Hargeisa list their stock right next to everyone else, with a blue badge that says they are the real thing.

An example of a store page in the app.

  • The blue badge

    Buyers see straight away that you are the real shop, not someone using your name.

  • Featured on Discover

    Verified stores can be shown at the top of the app, where every buyer starts.

  • Buyers from across the city

    Reach people who would never walk past your door.

  • Free to sell

    No listing fees and no commission. Customers pay you directly, the way they always have.

Takes two minutes. We usually reply within two days.

Safe, from the first message.

Safety is not a settings page. It runs through every part of the app.

It warns you before you get scammed.

Asked to pay with gift cards, or to send a code? Celis flags it right in the chat, and tells you why.

Reviews you can believe.

The buyer gives the seller a code at the handoff. No code, no deal. No deal, no review.

Real people, checked.

Every seller's number is checked against their ZAAD or eDahab name by our team. One person, one account.

Meet somewhere safe.

Plan your meetup at a busy public place, run through a quick checklist, and share the plan with someone you trust.

  • I told someone where I am going
  • We are meeting in the daytime
  • My phone is charged
  • I will test the item before I pay

Made for

Hargeisa.

Your next buyer could be five minutes away. Celis brings together neighbours in every part of the city, from Jigjiga Yar and Masalaha to 26 June and Ahmed Dhagah.

Free to use.

No listing fees and no commission. Celis never touches your money.

Pay your way.

Cash, ZAAD, or eDahab, face to face, once the item is in your hands.

Your number stays private.

Chat inside the app. Other members never see your phone number.

Questions.

Does it cost anything to sell?

No. Listing is free and Celis takes no commission. Whatever the buyer pays goes straight to you.

How do I get paid?

In person, when you meet. The buyer checks the item and pays you in cash, ZAAD, or eDahab. Celis never holds your money, so there is nothing to withdraw and nothing to wait for.

Why do you check my ZAAD or eDahab name?

It keeps one real person to one account. Our team checks that the number you give is registered to your name. Other members never see your number or your wallet name, and we will never ask for your PIN or ask you to send money.

What does the blue badge mean?

Our team has confirmed the account is the real business or person it says it is. Shops, well-known sellers, and Celis staff can have it. A verified account cannot change its name in the app, so nobody can borrow the badge.

How do I avoid scams?

See the item before you pay, meet in a busy public place, and never share a code someone texts you. Celis warns you in the chat when a message looks like a known scam.

What if a deal goes wrong?

Open a dispute from the deal within 14 days. Both sides share what happened, and our team decides. You can also report or block anyone at any time.

Where are your terms and privacy policy?

Read our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, also in Somali: Shuruudaha Adeegga and Siyaasadda Asturnaanta. The app asks you to accept the terms before you buy or sell.
