FAQ
Quick answers for buyers and sellers on Kamafo. Can't find what you need? Contact us.
Buying
How do I find what I'm looking for?
Type in the search box at the top of any page and pick a location if you want results near you. You can also open a category from the menu and narrow results with the filters.
How do I contact a seller?
Open the ad and use Chat to message the seller inside Kamafo. Keeping the conversation in-app means you have a record if something goes wrong.
Is it safe to pay before I see the item?
No. Never send money in advance to someone you have not met. Meet the seller, check the item, then pay. Read Safety tips before you meet.
What does the "Verified" badge mean?
The seller has passed ID verification with Kamafo. It shows the person is who they say they are. It does not guarantee the item, so still check it carefully before you pay.
How do I save an ad for later?
Tap the bookmark icon on any ad to add it to Favourites. You need to be signed in.
Does Kamafo deliver items or hold my money?
No. Buyers and sellers deal directly with each other. Kamafo does not deliver items or hold payments for private sales.
Selling
How do I post an ad?
Tap Post Ad, choose a category, add clear photos, a title, price, location and description, then submit. You need to be signed in.
Is posting an ad free?
You can post ads for free up to your current active-ad allowance. Paid seller plans raise that allowance and add extra features. See Seller plans for current options.
Why is my ad not live yet?
New and edited ads may be checked by our moderators first. If an ad breaks the Seller rules it can be rejected, and you will see the reason in My Ads.
How do I edit, pause or mark an ad as sold?
Go to My Ads. From there you can edit an ad, deactivate it, or mark it as sold once the item is gone.
How can I get more people to see my ad?
Good photos and an honest price help most. You can also boost a single ad or pick a seller plan that covers all your active ads. See Promote for current options and prices.
Can I post the same item more than once?
No. Post one ad per item. Duplicate ads are removed, and repeated duplicates can lead to account limits.
Account & safety
How do I create an account?
Tap Account or Post Ad and follow the sign-up steps. One account lets you both buy and sell.
Why should I verify my phone number?
A verified phone helps buyers and sellers trust you and helps us keep the marketplace safe. Add and verify phones in Account > Phones.
How do I get the "Verified" badge?
Complete ID verification in Account > Verification. Once it is approved, the badge shows on your profile and your ads.
How do I report a suspicious ad or user?
Use Report on the ad or inside the conversation. Our team reviews every report.
What scams should I watch out for?
Be careful with anyone who asks for payment in advance, sends "payment confirmation" screenshots, or asks you to move the chat off Kamafo. Never share your password, OTP, PIN or card details with anyone, including people who say they work for Kamafo.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Account > Privacy and follow the delete steps. If you have an active paid plan, you can delete your account after the plan ends.
Credits & payments
What are credits?
Credits are a balance you can use to pay for paid features on Kamafo where credits are accepted at checkout. Credits stay on the platform: they cannot be withdrawn as cash or sent to another user.
How do I buy credits or pay for a plan or boost?
Open Credits, Promote or Seller plans and choose an option. You pay through a secure payment page with the methods shown there, such as Mobile Money or card.
I paid but nothing changed. What should I do?
Payments are only applied after the payment provider confirms them, which can take a few minutes, especially with Mobile Money. Keep the payment page open and check again shortly. If it still has not arrived, contact us with your payment reference.
Can I get a refund?
Paid boosts and plans are not refunded automatically, for example when you mark an ad as sold before the promotion ends. If you think you were charged by mistake, contact us with your payment reference.
