Snapsome lets you safely buy and sell high-valued things using a Snapsome Score to ensure trust. Buyers and sellers of used, high-end tech gear can connect directly with each other while getting insight into who they're transacting with.
Snapsome operates like other online marketplaces where users can list and search for goods, but with more awareness of who you're transacting with. We utilize a user's social media presence to generate Snapsome Scores to provide insights into their credibility and trustworthiness. It's important to note that as of now, we do not handle payment processing on Snapsome. Therefore, we strongly recommend only using protected payment methods, such as PayPal Goods and Services and Venmo Purchase Protection, for any transactions made through our platform.
All you need is a Snapsome account to start browsing and selling! However, in order to safely complete transactions, we recommend you use a protected payment service such as PayPal Goods and Services or Venmo Purchase Protection when completing transactions on Snapsome.
A Snapsome Score helps you get a better idea of the users you're conducting business with. When a user validates their social media accounts, we generate a Snapsome Score by using public information such as account age to add points to the Score. The higher a user's score, the more peace of mind you can have when buying or selling with them. Details of your social media account stay anonymous to other users.
