Selling on Floccs is quick and easy:

1. Create a Free Ad
   • Posting an ad is completely free!
   • Upload a clear photo of your product. Our smart ad creation feature will automatically generate a detailed title, description, and features based on your photo, making it easy to create a professional listing. You can edit the ad if needed.

2. We Find a Buyer for You
   • Once your ad is live, our algorithms promote it to the right audience, such as buyers with horses or interests similar to yours.

• One Product = One Ad: Create separate ads for each product. This improves visibility and helps match your item to the right buyer.
• Use Clear Photos: Take pictures of your product without other items in the background. The first photo should be sharp and clear to attract buyers. Add more detailed or styled pictures to give a complete view of your item.

If the item significantly differs from its description (e.g., size, condition, or missing parts):

• Contact our support team directly through email at support@floccs.com.
• We will work with you and the seller to resolve the issue. If needed, we will issue a refund through our buyer protection policy.

Yes! Buyer protection ensures your purchase is secure. Your payment is held by Floccs until you confirm that the item matches the description and is in good condition. If there is an issue, we will assist you in resolving it or issuing a refund.

We are using Stripe as our payment-platform there you can use:

• Bank account (direct debit).
• Credit or debit cards.
• Klarna (buy now, pay later).

Refunds are processed through the original payment method. Refund eligibility depends on the issue and is subject to Floccs’s terms and conditions.

Your payment is held securely by us until you confirm the items condition. This safeguards both buyers and sellers, ensuring a fair process for everyone involved.

You can create two types of ads:

• For Sale Ads: List your horse for sale and tag its profile in the ad for more details.
• Service Ads: Offer services related to your horse, such as finding a co-rider, leasing opportunities, or other team-building activities.

• Tag the relevant horse profile in your ad to provide potential buyers or partners with more details about the horse.
• Once posted, the ad will appear in both the general feed and the horse's profile, ensuring visibility.
• Include your preferred contact details (email or phone) in the ad for interested parties to reach you directly.

Our algorithms match your ad to the right audience based on its content. For example:

• Ads for western horses are prioritized for users interested in western riding.
• Service ads (e.g., co-riding) are shown to local users looking for similar opportunities.

You can invite the new owner or team members to the horse’s profile, allowing them to:

• Update and maintain the horse’s profile.
• Take over admin responsibilities for the profile if necessary.
