A local-first marketplace: real people near you, protected payments, and every conversation kept inside the app.
ConnectAndBuy is a marketplace built around where you are. Listings are shown by distance first, every place has its own page, and a search that finds nothing becomes a request that sellers can answer.
Buyers and sellers talk, call and close inside the app — no phone number changes hands unless the seller chooses to show one.
Escrow holds the buyer's payment until the buyer confirms the deal. Nothing is released early, and a dispute pauses the release until a person has looked.
Posting a listing is free. Sellers can pay to be Featured, to bump a listing, or to run a Spotlight — every paid placement is labelled SPONSORED where it appears.
Questions, guides, buying advice and polls live in the Community, where answers can point to real listings.
