Help & support
Quick answers — and we're an email away.
Email us any time — we usually reply within a day.
Buying
How does buying work?
Find something you love, tap Buy and pay securely. Your money is held safely (escrow) — it's only released to the seller after you confirm the item arrived. The seller ships with tracked Aramex, you get a one-time code to give the courier on delivery, then you confirm receipt. Done.
Is my money safe?
Yes. Every purchase made through Tani checkout is covered by Buyer Protection — your payment stays in escrow until you confirm receipt, so you're never paying a stranger directly.
What if the item isn't as described or never arrives?
Open ‘Report a problem’ on your order within the inspection window. For ‘not as described’ we may ask for photos or a short unboxing video. While a report is open the money stays in escrow until our team reviews it — the seller isn't paid.
How much is delivery and how long does it take?
Tracked Aramex delivery is a flat AED 17, usually 2–3 business days, with an OTP code on arrival so delivery is proven.
When do Apple Pay and checkout go live?
Real card & Apple Pay checkout with escrow launch together with our UAE licence. Until then you can browse, save favourites and follow sellers — and we'll ping you the moment it opens.
Selling
How do I list an item?
Tap Sell, snap one photo and our AI fills in the title, brand, condition and a suggested price — you'll be live in under a minute. Add more photos for more interest.
What does it cost? What are the fees?
Listing is always free. When an item sells, Tani takes a 10% commission on the item price — shown before anything is confirmed. Founding Sellers pay 0% for their first 3 months.
When and how do I get paid?
Your payout is released after the buyer confirms receipt, or automatically once the inspection window closes without a claim. Payouts require a verified seller account.
Do I have to verify my identity?
To sell and receive payouts you verify once with your Emirates ID through a licensed provider. We only store the result (verified yes/no) and a token — never your ID document.
How do I ship a sold item?
Open Orders, print the Aramex label and hand the parcel to the courier within 3 days. If you don't ship in time the order auto-cancels and the buyer is refunded.
Trust & safety
What makes Tani safe?
Money in escrow until you confirm, tracked delivery with an OTP on arrival, verified sellers, and a clear dispute process with evidence. Both sides are protected.
Why should I keep deals inside Tani?
Buyer Protection only covers payments made through Tani checkout. Deals arranged off-platform — cash, bank transfer or paying a seller directly — aren't protected. If someone asks to deal outside the app, please report it.
Account
How do I sign in?

How do I manage notifications?
Go to Notifications and enable push to get order and message alerts. On iPhone, add Tani to your home screen first (Share → Add to Home Screen) for push to work.
