Getting started
What is Geerho?
Geerho is an online marketplace where you can buy and sell new and used items, list property for rent, lease, or sale, hire pros or find work (nearby or remote), and connect with people in your community.
Where is Geerho available?
Geerho is available in California and the Philippines, and will expand to more places over time. Items in the Philippines are priced in pesos and ship with Philippine couriers such as LBC, J&T Express, Ninja Van, and Lalamove. The iPhone app is in beta on TestFlight and coming soon to the App Store.
Does Geerho cost anything?
Joining, browsing, and messaging are free. Without a plan, you can make 1 new post a day (and as many as you like every Friday), and when an item sells through in-app payment Geerho keeps 5% of the item price (Founding Members pay no commission). Plans (on geerho.com, and soon in the iPhone app through the App Store) give you more posts and no commission: Basic $9.99, Pro $19.99, Business $99.99, or Elite $499.99 a month. When buyers pay in the app, the payment company's actual fee comes out of the seller's payout (cards 2.9% + 30¢; bank payments 0.8%, at most $5), and Geerho holds the payment until the buyer has the item. Every fee is shown before you list, and we give at least 30 days' notice before fees change. During Geerho's launch, everyone can post as much as they like for free, plans are paused, and homes and listings over $2,500 (₱150,000) are coming soon. See section 13 of our Terms.
How do Invite Friends rewards work?
Share your invitation from Profile → Invite Friends. Your friend joins, then enters your username under Profile → Invite Friends → Who invited you? (within 30 days of joining). When they verify their ID, you both get one sale with no Geerho commission: your next sale that would have had a commission has none (card or bank processing still applies). If that sale is canceled or refunded, you get the credit back. Geerho never messages anyone for you. See section 13.5 of our Terms.
What is a Founding Member?
The first 300 people to complete identity verification on Geerho are Founding Members. They pay no commission, can post 1 new listing a day (30 a month) without a plan, and get 25% off any plan for the first year, then 10%, applied automatically at checkout on geerho.com. Identity verification is free for everyone. See section 13.1 of our Terms.
What is a transaction ID?
Every listing, purchase request, and sale has a short ID, like S-7K3P-9QXM. You'll see it on the listing and in Profile → Purchases. When you contact Geerho Support, pick the transaction from the menu so we can find it right away.
Can I put geerho.com on my phone's Home Screen?
Yes, and it opens like an app. On iPhone, open geerho.com in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, tap Add when Geerho offers it (or Chrome's menu → Add to Home screen). The iPhone and Android apps are in beta, so this is the easiest way to keep Geerho one tap away.
Can I use Geerho on the website?
Yes. geerho.com works like the app, with the same five tabs: Home, Search, Post, Inbox, and Profile (at the bottom on a phone, at the top on a computer). Everything works there too: post (including for a Business or Elite team), buy, bid, rent a tool, request a tour or a quote, respond to a job, message, add a professional license, change your home address, and manage your listings, purchases, sales, and requests. Profile has the same rows as the app, with Settings behind the gear. The same account and everything in it show up in both.
Do I need an account?
You can browse active listings without signing in, in the app or on geerho.com. To sell, message, save favorites, or report something, sign in with Apple, Google, or GitHub. Your account is the same on the website and in the app.
Why do I need a username?
You choose a unique username the first time you sign in. It's how other people find and recognize you on Geerho.
What are followers and Contacts?
Follow anyone on Geerho to keep up with them. When two people follow each other, they're Contacts: we don't call them friends, because most people we connect with are people we've met, and only a few are real friends. Your profile shows how many followers, people you follow, and Contacts you have; signed-in members can see the lists. You can unfollow anytime, and blocking someone removes follows both ways. Everyone starts out following Geerho's founder, @tjmiranda, for news about Geerho; you can unfollow anytime.
What can I send in messages?
Text, photos, videos, voice messages, files, stickers, Genmoji, Memoji, and locations. Tap + next to the message box for Photos & Videos, Camera (photos or videos, including selfie videos), File (PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, or ZIPs up to 50 MB), or Location (move the map to choose the spot). Tap the microphone to record a voice message, then tap send or the trash can. Stickers, Genmoji, and Memoji come from your emoji keyboard and are sent right away. Touch and hold a message to react with ❤️ 👍 👎 😂 😮 😢 or 😡, or double-tap it for ❤️. Everything you send is private to the people in the conversation, and we remove the location stored in photos and videos. Our community rules apply: report anything inappropriate by touching and holding the message.
Why do I need to verify my identity?
Everyone who sells or sends messages on Geerho verifies their identity with a government ID and a quick selfie. It keeps fake accounts and scammers out, and verified people show a green Verified badge. You can browse, save listings, watch prices, and set search alerts without verifying. Verifying is free and takes about 2 minutes.
What happens to my ID and selfie?
Our verification partner, Didit, checks them; Geerho never sees or stores your ID images or face data. From your ID, Geerho keeps only your legal name, date of birth, the address printed on it (private to you, used to fill in checkout), and a scrambled, one-way code made from your ID number. The code lets us make sure each person has only one Geerho account; it can't be turned back into your ID number. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Buying
How do I contact a seller?
Open the listing and tap “Message.” Your conversation stays in your Inbox, one thread per listing.
How does Buy Now work?
Tap Buy Now on a listing, choose pickup or shipping, enter your address if it ships, and send the request. The item is reserved for you while the seller has 24 hours to accept. When they accept, it moves to Profile → Purchases, and if you paid in the app, your card is charged then. If the seller doesn't take card payments yet, arrange payment in your conversation. You can cancel a request before it's accepted.
Why do my level, stars, and reviews matter?
They're your reputation on Geerho, and they tell people who you are before they deal with you. Your star rating (1 to 5) is the average of reviews from people you actually bought from, sold to, rented with, hired, or worked for, so it reflects how you treat others: honest listings, fair prices with no hidden fees, showing up on time, and keeping your word. Your milestone level shows how much business you've done on Geerho over time. Your Verified badge shows you're a real, ID-checked person, and a Licensed badge shows a moderator checked your professional license. Together they appear on your profile, on every post you make, and in your conversations, so members can quickly see that you're trustworthy, and you can see the same about them. Reviews are blind (neither person sees the other's review until both are in, or 14 days pass), so they're honest, and you can post one public reply to any review about you. A strong reputation helps your posts stand out and makes people more comfortable dealing with you; breaking the rules, such as hiding a price, can cost you your account.
How do reviews work?
After a sale, a returned rental, or a hired job, both people can rate each other from 1 to 5 stars and write a review. Reviews are blind: yours stays private until the other person reviews you too, or 14 days pass, so nobody can retaliate. The person reviewed can post one public reply.
How do auctions work?
Sellers can list an item as an auction with a starting bid, a length of 1 to 10 days, and optionally a hidden reserve price and a Buy It Now price. When you bid, enter the most you're willing to pay: Geerho bids for you only as much as needed to keep you in the lead, and nobody sees your maximum. Buy It Now disappears after the first bid. A bid in the last 2 minutes adds 2 minutes, so nobody wins by sniping at the last second. When the timer ends, the highest bidder wins (if the reserve is met) and completes the purchase in the app within 3 days. A bid is a promise to buy, so only bid if you intend to pay. Track your auctions in Profile → My Bids.
Can a seller ask me to message them for the price?
No. Every post on Geerho must show its full price up front: items their price, rentals their rate, homes their rent or asking price, services their rate, and jobs their budget. Phrases like “PM for price” or “PM is the key” aren't allowed, sellers can't add hidden fees after you agree, and anything in Free stuff must be completely free. Report a post that breaks this with the reason “Hidden fees or price not shown.” Offenders can have their posts removed, their account suspended or closed, and be charged a violation fee. See section 4A of our Terms.
How do I pay for an item?
When the seller accepts card payments, tap Buy Now and pay securely by card (or US bank account for $1,000 or more) through Stripe. Geerho holds your payment and pays the seller only after you have the item; if something's wrong, report a problem from Profile → Purchases and Geerho Support reviews it before anyone is paid. In the Philippines, pay with GCash, Maya, a card, or QR Ph through PayMongo; you're charged at checkout and refunded in full if the seller doesn't accept. If the seller doesn't take in-app payments yet, you agree on how to pay. Never pay outside the app for something before you’ve seen it, and be cautious of anyone who asks for gift cards, wire transfers, or payment outside the app before meeting.
Why can’t I see a listing’s exact location?
To protect sellers, item listings show an approximate area and distance, never an exact address, and their map shows a shaded circle instead of a pin. Arrange a safe, public place to meet in your messages. Homes for sale, and rentals after a confirmed tour, show the exact spot with directions in Apple Maps.
How does shipping work?
Sellers choose local pickup, shipping, or both. For shipping, they pick their carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL in the US; LBC Express, J&T Express, Ninja Van, Flash Express, Lalamove (same-day), PHLPost, or DHL in the Philippines) and set a shipping and handling fee or offer free shipping. If you pay for shipping, the seller must add a tracking number within 3 business days. You'll find it, with a link to the carrier's website, under Profile → Purchases.
Can I pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay?
Yes. When a seller accepts card payments, Stripe's secure checkout offers Apple Pay on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and Google Pay on Android and in Chrome, when your phone or browser has one set up. Your payment is held until you have the item, the same as with a card.
Do rentals and home tours show on my Lock Screen?
Yes, in the apps. On the day of a rental pickup or return, and in the hours before a confirmed home tour, Geerho shows a reminder on your Lock Screen (and in the Dynamic Island on iPhone), with a countdown for tours. It appears when you open Geerho and goes away when it's over.
Can we sign when a rental is picked up or returned?
Yes, on iPhone, Android and geerho.com. In the rental, tap Sign for Pickup or Sign for Return, sign with your finger (or mouse) and type your full name. It's optional, time-stamped, and kept with the condition photos as extra proof. Both the owner and the renter can sign.
Can Geerho tell me when something I want is posted?
Yes. When a search finds nothing, choose Alert Me When One Is Posted. We save the search (words, type, category, a top price and your area) and notify you when a matching listing goes live. See or remove alerts in Profile → Settings → Search Alerts (up to 20).
Selling
Do I need to give my Social Security number or EIN to get paid?
Yes, if you get paid in the app in the United States. In Profile → Get Paid, choose Personal (yourself, with your Social Security number) or Business (your company’s EIN). Stripe collects and keeps the number; Geerho never sees it. Payouts are paused until your tax information is on file. Geerho reports your sales to the IRS on Form 1099-K when they reach the federal threshold ($20,000 and 200 sales in a year; some states are lower), and you report your own income.
How do I list an item?
Open the Post tab and choose Sell an item (or Start an auction). Add photos, a title, category, condition, price, and description, then publish. You can edit your listing, mark it sold, or delete it at any time.
How long do listings stay up?
Listings expire after 60 days. If your item is still available, you can renew it with one tap.
What can’t I sell on Geerho?
Weapons, drugs, alcohol, tobacco and vaping products, stolen or counterfeit goods, animals, hazardous materials, adult content, and anything illegal, among others. See the full list in our Terms of Service.
Can I list property for rent or sale?
Yes, in California and the Philippines for now. Open the Post tab and choose Rent out a home or Sell a home. Add photos, the type of property, the rent or asking price, bedrooms, bathrooms, and the street address, and say whether you’re the owner, an agent, or a property manager. Listing a home needs a Basic plan (or Pro, Business, or Elite). Without one, you can save your home as a draft and publish it after you choose a plan, which continues until you cancel it. Agents and property managers also need an approved real estate license first. Homes for sale show their street address; rentals show only the neighborhood until you confirm a tour. All housing listings must follow fair housing laws, and listings whose wording suggests a preference the law doesn’t allow are held for a moderator to review. See section 6 of our Terms.
How do home tours work?
On a home’s listing, tap Request a Tour and suggest up to three times. The lister confirms one, or says none work, and it all appears in your conversation. When a rental tour is confirmed, you see the street address. Applications, leases, deposits, and offers are arranged directly with the lister, outside Geerho. Never send money or financial details before you’ve seen the home and confirmed the lister is authorized to rent or sell it. Find your tours in Profile → Home Tours.
How do I offer my services or post a job?
Open the Post tab and choose Offer a service or Post a job. Pick the kind of work, describe it, and set a rate or budget (or choose By quote / Open to quotes). Customers can request a quote from a service, and freelancers respond to jobs with a message and an optional price; it all happens in your conversations. When you hire someone for your job, it closes to new responses and the others are told. After you hire someone, you can pay the agreed price in the app if they take card payments: Geerho holds it and pays them when you confirm the work is done (or 3 days after they mark it done, if you report no problem). Otherwise, payment is arranged between you. Find your jobs and responses in Profile → Jobs and Quotes. See section 7A of our Terms.
How does “On my way” work?
When you hire someone for a job, they can tap On My Way as they leave. You'll get a message, and the job's page (and Profile → Jobs and Quotes) shows them on a map with their arrival time from Apple Maps. Only you see it. Sharing stops when they tap I've Arrived, when either of you taps Stop Sharing, or after 4 hours, and Geerho then erases their location. Pros: Geerho asks before you share the first time, and iOS shows a blue location indicator while it's on.
Does Geerho check freelancers?
Everyone who offers a service or responds to a job has verified their identity. Work that needs a license, such as electrical, plumbing, contractor, or real estate work, can only be offered by people whose license a Geerho moderator has checked against the issuer’s public records, and their profile shows a Licensed badge. We don’t check insurance, bonding, or the quality of work, so read reviews, confirm the license with the issuer, and get a written estimate for bigger jobs.
How do I add my professional license?
If you work in real estate or a licensed profession, go to Profile → Professional Licenses and tap +. Enter your profession, license number, the issuer (such as the California DRE or the Philippine PRC), your full name exactly as it appears on the license, your date of birth, and a phone number, and optionally a photo of the license. You need to verify your identity first. A Geerho moderator checks the license against the issuer’s records, and once it’s approved your profile shows a Licensed badge. Others see your name as licensed, license number, and issuer; your date of birth, contact details, and license photo stay private.
How do I get paid?
Open Profile → Get Paid. In the United States, set up a payout account with Stripe, our payment processor; payouts go to your bank. In the Philippines, choose Philippines and add your GCash, Maya, or bank account in the name on your verified ID; Geerho sends payouts through PayMongo by InstaPay (or PESONet for amounts over ₱50,000). The payment company's actual fee comes out of each payout (in the Philippines, also PayMongo's ₱10 transfer fee), and you see it before you list. If a payout is returned, for example because the account name doesn't match, Geerho Support contacts you to fix it.
Can I sell something that costs more than $2,500?
Yes. Geerho takes in-app payments up to $2,500 (₱150,000 in the Philippines) per sale, rental, or job. Above that, you need a plan to list it, and the buyer pays the seller directly once the seller accepts, outside Geerho. Geerho doesn’t hold that money, so its buyer protection and refunds don’t cover it. Meet in person, check the item and its papers (like a vehicle’s title or OR/CR), and use a bank transfer or escrow you trust. Never pay with gift cards or crypto. See section 13 of our Terms.
What is a Business or Elite team?
Business members can appoint up to 10 people and Elite members up to 100, including free members, to post and chat for their business. Add them by username in Profile → Team; they accept the invitation in their own Team screen and choose "Post for" your business on the Post tab. Their posts are your listings: your name is on them, buyers pay you, and payouts go to your account, so team members never receive the money. Their posts count toward your plan’s post limit (20 a day on Business, unlimited on Elite) and you pay no commission (payment processing still applies). You see everything each member posts and every chat about it, and you can remove anyone at any time. Members see only the listings they posted and those chats, and they can handle the selling for them: answer purchase requests, mark items sold, ship and add tracking, handle rentals (pickup and return photos), and answer tour requests. Those sales are still yours and paid to you; members see "For your team, paid to the team owner" on them. Each team member has their own unread count for team chats, so you reading a chat doesn't clear theirs.
I sold an item with shipping. What do I need to do?
Open the listing, tap ⋯ → Mark as Sold, and choose the buyer and carrier. If the buyer paid for shipping, add the tracking number within 3 business days of the sale; late tracking is flagged for review.
How do I go live?
Live shows are for selling your listings, using your own Amazon IVS, YouTube, Facebook, or Twitch account; Geerho takes nothing for streaming. In the app, open Profile → Go Live, choose your platform, paste your channel link, then either stream with this phone's camera (add your server and stream key; they stay on your phone) or start streaming in OBS, Larix, or another app and tap Go Live with an External App. See the video guide. You need to be ID-verified.
How do I feature my listing?
On geerho.com, open Feature your listing, pick one of your live listings and 3, 7, or 30 days, and pay once. It shows at the top of Home and Search with a Featured badge in the app and on the website. Featuring is bought on the website only.
What are hearts in live shows?
Double-tap a live video to send a heart. Hearts are free likes, not gifts: they have no money value. Shows with more hearts appear higher in Live now. Geerho has no virtual gifts, tips, or coins.
Does my service need a license?
It depends on the kind of work and where you do it. Geerho moderators set the rule for each country and state (for example, babysitting may need a license in one place and not another). The Post form tells you when a license is needed where you work. Add it under Profile → Professional Licenses; you can publish once a moderator approves it. A license counts only where it was issued.
Can I scan a barcode to start a listing?
Yes. In the iPhone and Android apps, tap Scan Barcode under the title and point your camera at the product's barcode; on geerho.com, type the numbers under the barcode in the Barcode box (or tap Scan, where your browser can read barcodes) and tap Look Up. Geerho fills in the title, the brand and details like model, size or author, and suggests a category, from public product databases (store-bought items, groceries, beauty products and books). Only the barcode number is looked up. Check it, add the condition and your own photos before you post. When you add tracking for a sale, Scan Shipping Label reads the tracking number for you.
Why does Geerho suggest a category?
After you add your first photo, the app looks at it on your phone and suggests a category, like Furniture or Bikes. Tap the suggestion to use it, or pick another. The photo isn't sent anywhere for this.
Safety
Can I rent out my tools or equipment?
Yes. Open the Post tab, choose Rent out a tool or equipment, and set a daily rate, an optional weekly rate, a deposit equal to the item's replacement value, a daily late fee, the longest rental you allow, and how far you'll lend it (in miles in the US, kilometers in the Philippines). Tool rentals are local pickup only: people outside your radius can see your tool but can't request it, and nothing is shipped. You'll accept the lending terms before publishing, and the details on your listing are the terms of your deal. Renters pick dates and send a request; you accept or decline within 24 hours. At pickup and return, you both take condition photos in the app, so there's a record if anything gets damaged. Geerho sends reminders the day before and on the day it's due back, and if it's late. After the return, you can review each other. Owners must keep equipment safe and recall-free and give the manufacturer's instructions; renters must be 18 or older and return it on time in the same condition. If the owner takes card payments, you pay the rent and deposit in the app when you request: you're charged only if the owner accepts, the owner gets the rent at pickup, and the deposit comes back automatically after the return, minus any late fees. Geerho doesn't provide insurance, and vehicles, drones, and equipment that needs a license can't be rented. See section 7 of our Terms.
What does Watch do?
Tap Watch on any listing to follow it. Your watched items appear on Home and in Profile → Watching, and you get an alert there when the price drops, an auction you watch has less than an hour left, or the item sells. Sellers see how many people are watching, but not who.
What happens if I return a rental late?
The owner sets a late fee per day (usually the daily rate), and it comes out of your deposit. The deposit equals what it would cost to replace the item, so if late fees use it all up, the rental becomes a sale: you keep the item and the owner keeps the deposit. If you bring it back after that, the owner can refuse it unless you pay what's owed. See section 7.13 of our Terms.
How do I stay safe when meeting someone?
Meet in a busy public place during the day, bring a friend if you can, tell someone where you’re going, inspect items before paying, and trust your instincts. Many police stations offer safe exchange zones.
How do I report a listing, user, or message?
Use the Report option on the listing, profile, or message. We aim to review reports within 24 hours, and a listing reported by 3 different people is hidden until we review it.
How do I block someone?
Open their profile or your conversation with them and choose Block. They won’t be able to message you, and you won’t see each other’s listings. Manage blocked users in Settings.
I think I’ve been scammed. What should I do?
Report the user in the app and contact Geerho Support (Profile → Settings → Contact Support) with the transaction ID and any screenshots. If you lost money, also contact your bank or payment provider and file a report with local police or the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
Can I reply to a message from the notification?
Yes. On iPhone, press and hold a message notification (or swipe down on it) and tap Reply; on Android, tap Reply under the notification. Message notifications also show the sender's name and profile photo (on iPhone, when Show Previews is on in Settings → Notifications & Sounds).
What are the suggested replies in chats?
When the other person writes, Geerho may show a few short replies above the message box, like "Yes, it's still available!". Tapping one only puts it in the box; you decide whether to send it. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence and on Android they're made on your phone; otherwise they're ready-made. Geerho never sends a message for you.
Account and privacy
How do I change my username?
In the app, open Profile → Edit Profile → Username; on geerho.com it's the same: Profile → Edit Profile → Username. Usernames are 2 to 30 letters, numbers, or underscores. You can change yours once every 30 days, and your old username is held for you for 30 days so nobody else can take it.
I lost access to how I sign in. Can I get my account back?
Yes, if your account completed ID verification. Sign in a new way (for example, a different Google account), and on the "Your Username" screen tap I Lost Access to My Account. Send a photo of your ID and two recent proofs of address, and add your WhatsApp number. A moderator checks them and schedules a short WhatsApp video call, where you sign your name three times on blank paper. After at least 72 hours, a Super Admin moves your new sign-in onto your account. Your documents are deleted when the request ends.
Someone asked to recover my account, but it wasn't me. What do I do?
Open Settings (or Account on geerho.com) and tap This Wasn't Me. The request stops right away and moderators are alerted. We never hand over an account without checking ID, address, and a video call, and we always wait at least 72 hours.
What is my milestone level?
It's a level from 1 to 50 shown on your profile, with a crown that changes color as you rise: green (1–34), white (35–39), silver (40–44), gold (45–49), and a VIP badge at Level 50. You earn XP only on what Geerho earns from your activity, never on your sale price: 1 XP for every $0.014 of Geerho's commission on your sales, rentals, and hired jobs, or for every $0.10 of a monthly plan fee (a $19.99 Pro month is about 200 XP). Amounts in pesos or other currencies are converted to US dollars at that day's exchange rate. XP adds up for life, and your Milestone Level page shows how much more you need for the next level. Have a TikTok gifter level? Go to Profile → Milestone Level → Transfer My TikTok Level, add the code you get to your TikTok bio, and email it to support@geerho.com with a screenshot of your gifter level. Once a moderator checks it, you start at that level plus a +1 Geerho welcome bonus.
Can I sign in with Apple, Google, and GitHub on one account?
Yes. Each person can have one Geerho account, and you can sign in to it any of those ways. If they use the same email address, they’re linked automatically. Otherwise, go to Profile → Settings → Sign-in Methods and link the others. If you try to verify a second account with the same ID, we won’t verify it, and we’ll message you in Geerho Support saying which account is yours.
Can I start a listing from my photos?
Yes, in the apps. In Photos (or your gallery), choose up to 10 photos, tap Share, then Geerho (iPhone) or Sell on Geerho (Android). Geerho opens on Post with a new listing that already has those photos; add the title and price and publish. On geerho.com, tap Post and add photos there.
Can I put my Geerho card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet?
When it's available, your Profile shows Add to Apple Wallet (iPhone, and Safari on Apple devices) or Save to Google Wallet (Android and other browsers). The card shows your name, @username, whether you're ID-verified, Founding Member, and a QR code of your profile: at a meetup, the other person can scan it to see who you are.
Is there a Geerho widget, and can I follow an auction from my Lock Screen?
Yes, in the apps. Add the Geerho widget to your Home Screen (iPhone: touch and hold the Home Screen → Edit → Add Widget; Android: touch and hold the Home Screen → Widgets) to see your unread messages and live listings, with Post and Search buttons. iPhone also has a Lock Screen widget. After you bid on an auction that ends within 8 hours, iPhone shows a countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and Android shows a countdown notification; tap it to open the auction.
Can I use Siri or shortcuts with Geerho?
Yes. On iPhone, say "Search Geerho", "Post on Geerho" or "Open my Geerho messages", or add them in the Shortcuts app. On Android, touch and hold the Geerho icon for Search, Post a listing and Messages (they also work with Google Assistant routines). You can also add a Post on Geerho button to iPhone's Control Center (iOS 18 or later) or Android's Quick Settings (swipe down twice, then edit the tiles). If you add geerho.com to your home screen, touch and hold it for the same three.
Can Geerho write my listing for me?
On devices with built-in AI, yes: type a few notes (brand, size, age, flaws) in the description, then tap Write with Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or newer), Write with on-device AI (Android phones with Gemini Nano), or Write with your browser's AI (Chrome with built-in AI). It writes a title and description using only what you typed, on your device and for free. Always check it before you post; you're responsible for what your listing says. Other devices don't show the button.
Can Geerho remove the background from my listing photos?
Yes, in the iPhone and Android apps. After you pick a photo, tap Remove Background on the crop screen: your phone cuts the item out and puts it on clean white (tap Restore Original to undo). It works best with one clear item. It happens on your phone; the photo isn't sent anywhere else. On geerho.com, photos are used as they are.
Can Geerho translate a listing or a message?
Yes. Tap Translate next to a listing's description, or touch and hold a message and choose Translate. On iPhone (iOS 17.4 or later) Apple translates it on your phone; on Android, Google's on-device translator does (the first time, it downloads that language once). On geerho.com, Chrome translates on your device; other browsers open Google Translate in a new tab with the text.
Can I sign in with a passkey?
Yes. Once you're signed in, go to Profile → Settings → Security → Add a Passkey (iPhone, Android, or geerho.com). Next time, tap Sign in with a passkey and use Face ID, Touch ID, your fingerprint, or your screen lock. Your passkey lives in your password manager (iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager) and works on geerho.com too. You can remove it any time in Security. It signs in to your existing account; it doesn't make a new one.
How do I turn on two-step verification?
Go to Profile → Settings → Security → Turn On, in the iPhone or Android app or on geerho.com. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password, and others), or on your phone tap Add to Authenticator App, then enter the 6-digit code it shows. Save the 10 recovery codes we show you somewhere safe, like a password manager. From then on, signing in asks for a code from the app.
I lost my phone with my authenticator app. How do I sign in?
Sign in as usual, then choose “Use a recovery code” and enter one of the recovery codes you saved. That removes your authenticator so you can get in; set it up again in Settings → Security (you'll get new recovery codes). If you don't have your recovery codes either, ask for account recovery (see “I lost access to how I sign in”), and a Super Admin can remove two-step verification once it's done.
Can I lock Geerho with Face ID or my fingerprint?
Yes. In the iPhone or Android app, go to Profile → Settings → Security and turn on App Lock. Geerho then asks for Face ID, Touch ID, your fingerprint, or your screen lock each time you open it. It's a setting on that phone only, and your face or fingerprint never leaves your phone.
Why does Geerho keep my home address?
So you don’t have to type it every time you buy something: it fills in checkout for you. It’s private: it’s never on your profile, and only the seller of something you buy sees the address you send them. If your ID shows your address, we add it when you verify. If you’ve moved, or your ID has no address, go to Profile → Home Address and add the new address with 2 or 3 recent documents that show your name and the address, such as a utility bill and a bank statement. A Geerho moderator checks them and approves the change, and the documents are deleted once they’re reviewed.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to Profile → Settings → Delete Account. This permanently deletes your account and your content and can’t be undone.
Does Geerho sell my data?
No. We don’t sell your personal information or share it for advertising. Read our Privacy Policy for details.
How do I access or delete my data?
In the app, go to Profile → Settings → Contact Support and choose the reason “Privacy request.” California residents and users in other regions have specific rights described in our Privacy Policy.
How do I contact Geerho?
In the app, go to Profile → Settings → Contact Support (or tap the life-preserver in your Inbox). Choose a reason and, if it’s about a listing, purchase, or sale, its transaction ID. You can attach photos, screenshots, a voice message, a video link, or a PDF. We reply in your Inbox under “Geerho Support,” usually within 1–2 business days. Everyday questions (general, buying, selling, renting, shipping, something not working, feedback) often get a quick first answer from the Geerho Assistant, an AI that answers from our User Handbook and FAQ and says it’s an AI. If it doesn’t solve it, just reply and a person takes over. Questions about your account, verification, payments, safety, reports, privacy, or legal matters always go straight to a person.
Can I delete a message?
Yes. Swipe left on a message to delete it for you, or touch and hold one (or choose Select) to pick several, then Delete; Delete All clears the whole chat, and swiping left on a chat in your Inbox deletes the chat. These delete it from your view only: the other person keeps theirs, and a new message brings the chat back. Notifications can be deleted the same way, for good. On your own messages, Delete for Everyone removes it from the chat for both of you, and it shows as “This message was deleted.” To protect members from scams, Geerho keeps a private copy of deleted messages and attachments for 1 year that only moderators can see when reviewing a report, and that we share with law enforcement only with valid legal process. See our Law Enforcement Guidelines.
Can I delete a conversation with Geerho Support?
Yes. In your Inbox, swipe left on a Geerho Support conversation and tap Delete. It moves to Recently Deleted, where you can restore it for 7 days; after that it's gone from your app. If Geerho Support replies, the conversation comes back. Geerho Support keeps its own record as described in our Privacy Policy; to have it erased, send a Privacy request or delete your account.
Can I scan a document instead of attaching a photo?
Yes, in the apps. In Contact Support or when you add a professional license, choose Scan a Document: your phone finds the edges, straightens the pages, and attaches them as one PDF.
Features only on iPhone
Which features are only on iPhone?
Most features work on iPhone, Android and geerho.com. A few use tools only Apple offers, so they're on iPhone (and some on iPad and Mac): floor plans from a room scan, 3D models of items, the Geerho sticker pack in Messages, Handoff, Visual Intelligence search, and the Geerho App Clip. Everything you make with them, like a floor plan, shows on Android and the website too.
How do I add a floor plan to a home listing?
On an iPhone with LiDAR (Pro models), open the home listing and tap Scan a Floor Plan under Photos. Walk slowly through each room while your phone maps the walls, doors and windows, then tap Done and Add to Photos. The floor plan is added as a photo, so everyone can see it. It's approximate, not an official measurement.
Can buyers see an item in 3D?
On an iPhone with LiDAR, open your listing and tap Add a 3D Model, then walk slowly around the item in good light. Your iPhone builds the model (it can take a few minutes) and adds it to the listing. Buyers on an iPhone, iPad or Mac can tap View in 3D and in Your Room to spin it around or place it in their room at real size, in the app or in Safari on geerho.com.
Is there a Geerho sticker pack for Messages?
Yes, on iPhone and iPad. In Messages, tap the + (or the apps button) and choose Geerho to send stickers like "Still available?", "Sold!" and "Salamat po!", or send a listing as a card.
What is Handoff?
If you use an iPhone with a Mac or iPad signed in to the same Apple Account, a listing or chat you have open in Geerho can be continued on your other device: on a Mac, it opens on geerho.com in Safari.
Can I search Geerho with my camera?
On iPhones with Apple Intelligence (iOS 26), use Visual Intelligence: point your camera at something (or take a screenshot), choose Search, and pick Geerho to see matching listings. Only a few words describing what's in the picture are used to search.
What is the Geerho App Clip?
When someone sends you a Geerho listing link, an iPhone can open it in the Geerho App Clip: a small part of Geerho that opens instantly without installing, showing the photos, price and description. To buy, make an offer or message the seller, get the full Geerho app.
