Finding listings, products and more

Search everything

Choose the search icon in the header (or press Ctrl+K, ⌘K on a Mac) and start typing. Suggestions appear as you type, grouped into listings, products, services, projects, categories, articles, members and tags. Use the arrow keys and Enter, or click a suggestion. Press Enter without choosing one to see the full results page, with a tab for each kind of result.

Browse listings

Choose Listings in the header to see every published listing. You can:

• search by name, summary or city;
• sort by newest or top rated (top rated takes the number of reviews into account, so a few 5-star reviews don't beat many good ones);
• use Near me to find listings close to you, within 10, 25, 50 or 100 km (your browser asks for permission to use your location), or type a town or postcode in Town or postcode and choose Search to look near there instead;
• open a category to see everything in it and its sub-categories;
• narrow the results with the filters shown for that category.

Each card shows the photo, category, rating, city, distance and whether it's open now.

A listing's page

A listing page shows photos, a description, details, contact information, a map and opening hours (with an Open now indicator, in the listing's own time zone). It lists the services offered there, each with a Book button (or Message to book when it can't be booked online), the products available there, and the owner's projects. Below that are its reviews and questions and answers. When the listing takes bookings you'll also see a Book button at the top. Use Save to add it to your shortlist.

Projects

Projects are members' past work. There's no link in the header: find them in search, on a member's page, on a listing's page, or on the page of a service they used. Choose See all next to Projects on the home page to open the projects directory, which lists them all, most recently completed first; search by name, summary or location, or filter by category. Some categories offer extra filters on the left, such as size or style: set them and choose Apply, or Clear to remove them. Choosing a different category clears them, because each category has its own. A project page shows the photos, the year, location and role, the client when the member has named one, who worked on it, and the services it used.

Products

A service's page may list the products used for the job under Products we use; some aren't sold separately. When a product shows Add to cart, choose how many and add it. Your Cart groups what you've chosen by seller, because you pay each seller separately. Prices and stock in the cart are always up to date, and anything that can't be bought any more says why. You can fill a cart before logging in; it's kept when you log in or sign up.

To pay, choose Pickup or Delivery for a seller (pick a delivery address, or add one under Settings > Addresses), then Check out with that seller. You pay on a secure payment page; prices include any tax, and delivery is the seller's fee. Your order then appears under My orders, and you're told when it's ready for pickup, sent and completed. If you need to change or cancel an order, message the seller: they can cancel it and refund you in full. Once an order is completed you can review what you bought; your review shows Bought it.

Choose Products in the header to browse everything members sell. Search, filter by category, and sort by newest, most viewed, price or Top rated. A product page shows photos, the price (or "Price on request"), a description, the seller and where it's available. Use Add to cart where you see it, or Message seller to arrange a purchase.

Services

Choose Services in the header (or in the menu on a phone) to browse what members offer. Search by name or description, tick Bookable online to see only those you can book yourself, and sort by newest, price, shortest or Top rated. Open a service to see its photos, price, how long it takes and who offers it. Choose Book to pick a time, or Message to book to arrange it with the member. If something looks wrong, use Report.

Articles

Choose Articles to read guides and news. Filter by From us or From members, open a tag to see related articles, and subscribe to the feed in your reader. Each article has a table of contents and an estimated reading time.

Choose a skill next to the sort menu to see only listings whose team has it. A listing's page shows what its team can do.

Members

If you don't see Members in the menu, Marketplace Demo isn't showing member pages yet.

Choose Members to find people by what they offer: skills, products or services. Search by name, skill, product or service name, or use the buttons to show only those who sell products or offer services. A member's page shows their photos, articles, products, services and projects, the skills they offer, reviews of them as a seller and the reviews they've written, and how to contact them.
