Trust and safety
Real people, a few miles away
Local pickup only works when you know who's on the other end. Vendida is set up around that.
Every account is phone-verified
No anonymous accounts. Each member confirms a real US mobile number with a text code before they can list, save or contact anyone.
Only members can reach sellers
Messages and sellers' numbers are only for signed-in members. Listings show a first name and last initial, never a business name or address.
Reviews come from real pickups
Only the buyer a seller names when marking an item sold can review it, so ratings reflect actual pickups.
Pay at pickup
Vendida never holds your money. Inspect the material first, then pay the seller directly. Never send a deposit ahead.
Why Vendida
The extra box of tile shouldn't end up in a dumpster
Every job ends with something left over: a few sheets of drywall, half a pallet of pavers, the door that was the wrong swing. Hauling it off costs money, and storing it takes space. Somebody across town needs exactly that.
The EPA estimates the U.S. generated about 600 million tons of construction and demolition debris in 2018. Selling what's left is better for your budget and for the landfill.
Common questions
Is Vendida free?
Yes. Browsing, listing, messaging and reviews are all free for buyers and sellers.
Do I need an account to look around?
No. Anyone can browse. You'll sign in with your phone when you want to list, save, or contact a seller.
How do I get paid?
The buyer pays you directly at pickup, in whatever way you both agree on. Vendida doesn't handle payments.
Can I trade instead of selling?
Yes. List something for trade only, or for sale with trades welcome, and say what you'd take in return.
Who can see my phone number?
If you list something, signed-in members can see your number on that listing so they can text you. Buyers' numbers are never shown. If you'd rather not text, use Messages.
How do reviews work?
When you mark a listing sold, you can enter the buyer's phone number. That buyer can then rate you from 1 to 5 stars. Reviews show on your seller page.
What area does Vendida cover?
Austin and the surrounding towns. You choose a search radius from your ZIP code, from 5 to 50 miles.
