Questions?
What is Selly, and how is it better than Facebook Marketplace?
Selly is your AI assistant for secondhand selling in NYC. No app, no account, no listing to write yourself. Facebook Marketplace means writing your own description, fielding every message, negotiating lowball offers, and coordinating pickup yourself. Selly handles all of that for you. You send photos, we take it from there.
Are there any fees?
We take 5% of the total sales price only when a deal goes through. No upfront fees.
What can I sell?
Mostly furniture, books, clothes, decor, electronics, and other normal apartment items under $2,000. We are not handling cars or anything wildly complicated right now.
How does payment / pickup happen?
When a buyer is ready, Selly sends a payment link and confirms the deal before connecting you two. Once payment clears, we share the buyer's contact so you can arrange pickup directly.
Is my info private?
Your number and personal details are never shared with buyers until a deal is confirmed. We store your info securely and do not sell or share it with third parties.
Can I trust Selly?
Hi, we are Sang and Duck, Cornell and Duke dropouts building Selly because we were tired of selling our summer intern stuff in NYC.
Where is Selly available?
Selly is only available in New York City right now, built around local pickup and fast neighborhood resale.
Why does Click to start open a weird number?
It is not a random number. It is Selly's virtual number connected to AI, not someone's personal phone. Your conversation history is only visible to the Selly team.
Text it. Forget it. We'll be back with a deal.
