PikPlease

Example use case

Buying second-hand remotely

Before travelling or buying, request the precise shots the listing doesn't show.

The situation

You spot a second-hand piece of furniture, a bike or an appliance several hours away. The listing shows a few photos, but not the condition of the points that matter to you.

Useful photos to request

  • Overall view, front and back
  • Plate or label showing the model and serial number
  • Close-up of wear, scratches or any repairs
  • The appliance switched on or working, if relevant
  • The accessories included

With PikPlease

  1. You create a request with the list of shots, and an instruction when a shot needs clarification.
  2. You send the link to the seller through the messaging app of your choice.
  3. The seller takes the photos with their phone, without creating an account or installing an app, and sends them in one go.
  4. You look at the photos before deciding whether to travel; a shot can be retaken if needed.

The limits

  • The photos show what was photographed: they do not replace an inspection in person.
  • PikPlease checks neither the seller's identity nor the item's origin.

Possible example, for guidance only: adapt the list of photos to your needs.
