How does it work?

The WatchAnalytics Marketplace aims to be the one-stop destination for watch enthusiasts who want to buy and sell with complete freedom. Our marketplace operates on a peer-to-peer model, which means that we let sellers and buyers handle payments outside the platform themselves. In this way, we do not charge any fees for buying or selling a watch, ensuring a fairer experience for all users.

Our marketplace is exclusively accessible to certified sellers, selected through a rigorous verification process that ensures high-quality standards. The selection criteria include:

• Verified and trusted presence on other marketplaces
• High rating on Trustpilot
• An active and established community on social networks

All sellers are paying users who have completed registration with business information on our platform. While we maintain a strict selection process, this verification does not replace the due diligence required during negotiations, which take place outside our platform. Therefore, we do not provide any guarantee regarding the reliability of the seller.

The marketplace is supported by our advanced watch market analysis platform, which provides up-to-date data on prices and trends. This allows you to avoid overpaying or underestimating the value of a watch and provides a reliable guide to buying and selling with confidence.

Our goal is to provide a smooth and intuitive user experience while maintaining the sense of community that characterizes WatchAnalytics. Interested buyers can contact the seller using the “Make an offer” button to initiate a negotiation that takes place and is completed outside of our platform. Once an agreement has been reached, the parties agree on payment and shipping arrangements independently.

In order for the marketplace to remain reliable, it is important to follow a few basic rules:

• Users must always treat each other respectfully and fairly, both in their messages and in the additional information in their listings.
• Sellers are free to set the price of their watches. By using the “About this watch” button on the listing page, WatchAnalytics displays a price indication to help users understand the value of the watch in relation to similar offers.
• The sale of counterfeit watches is prohibited. If you suspect that an ad may be a fake, you can report it by contacting us via email at [email protected] and providing objective evidence.

Make an Offer

To make an offer, you must create an account on WatchAnalytics and log in to the platform.

If you find a watch on the WatchAnalytics Marketplace that interests you, you can contact the seller directly by clicking on the “Make an offer” button on each available listing, allowing you to propose a price for the watch and start a direct negotiation with the seller.

If the seller is interested in your offer, you will be contacted by mail or via the contacts you have optionally included in your offer to agree on the final details of the transaction, including payment method and shipping. Although this step takes place outside our platform, it is important to note that placing an offer is not an action to be taken lightly: once your offer is accepted, you are obliged to complete the transaction according to the agreed terms.

Withdrawing from the deal without a valid reason may result in restrictions or suspension of your account.

As a peer-to-peer marketplace, WatchAnalytics does not intervene directly in transactions, leaving it to you and the seller to define the terms of the deal. WatchAnalytics is therefore relieved of all responsibility in relation to payment, delivery, and the authenticity of the watches. We recommend that you communicate clearly and transparently with the other party and follow best security practices to avoid any inconvenience.

Tips for a Safe Transaction

As the WatchAnalytics Marketplace operates as a peer-to-peer platform, we do not guarantee or verify the authenticity, payment, or delivery of watches. However, we suggest some practices to minimize risk and complete transactions safely.

• Before completing a purchase or sale, take the time to communicate with the other party. Ask detailed questions, request additional photos or videos, and, if possible, arrange a video call to better verify the user's watch and reliability.
• Checking reviews and transaction history on other platforms can be another useful tool to assess the reputation of the seller or buyer.
• Always clearly define payment and shipping terms before completing a transaction. This is especially important for international transactions, where different regulations can affect the purchase and delivery process.
• When choosing a payment method, consider whether it offers protection for the buyer. Some services offer a money-back guarantee, but it is important to ask about their policies in the event of a dispute.
• Some sellers prefer payment methods without buyer protection, such as bank transfers. In these cases, it is important to check their reliability before proceeding with payment.
• Shipping is also an important consideration. The cost and method will vary depending on the destination, but it is always advisable to choose a traceable shipping service so that you can track the delivery in real time.
• If the watch is of high value, consider insuring it against loss or damage.
• When shipping abroad, check for any customs duties or regulations that may affect delivery.

By following these guidelines, you will make the most of the WatchAnalytics Marketplace and enjoy a safe and satisfying buying and selling experience within our community.
