All use cases

Marketplace sellers

Sell without sharing your phone number

“Is the desk still available for pickup today?” does not need your personal mobile.

Share a temporary RoomLnk link in the listing or the marketplace message. The buyer joins in the browser. The room is the conversation, not proof of payment or identity.

One item, one room

Keep the listing conversation off your personal number

Availability, a product question, and a pickup time are all the buyer needs at first. A personal number stays in their phone after the sale.

A temporary RoomLnk room can expire when the item is gone. Share a precise address only when the handover is agreed, and choose a safe place to meet.

An item card with a RoomLnk QR code and a pickup chat

This listing

The link is for the desk, not for your contact list

The buyer asks if it is still available today. The seller replies with the pickup window and can share the meeting details in the same room.

A display name and a room link do not prove payment or identity. Stop if the conversation looks like fraud or feels unsafe.

Safety

The room is not proof of payment or a safe address

Share a precise address only when needed, prefer a safe handover, and stop if the behaviour suggests fraud, harassment, or danger.
