While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Company details

  1. Payment Service

Written by the company

Dela is the safe way to buy and sell with strangers online. When you find something you want on Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, or any other platform, Dela steps in to make sure neither side gets burned. Here's how it works: the buyer pays through Dela, and the funds are held securely by Stripe until the item arrives. The seller ships using Dela's built-in shipping, and the money is only released once the buyer confirms they've received what they paid for. No dodgy bank transfers. No handing cash to a stranger in a car park. No hoping for the best. Shipping is fully tracked and updated in real time within the app, so both the buyer and seller can see exactly where the item is at every stage. For sellers, Dela means no more fake payment screenshots, no more buyers ghosting after you've shipped, and no more wasted time on people who were never serious. For buyers, it means your money is protected every step of the way. Your payment is held securely from the moment you pay until the moment your item arrives. Dela is available on both iOS and Android. The app handles payments, shipping, and protection in one place, so you can stop worrying and start trading with confidence. Whether you're selling a pair of sneakers or buying a secondhand laptop, Dela makes online peer-to-peer commerce safe, simple, and fair for everyone involved.

Providing this kind of platform is…Refreshing

Providing this kind of platform is great! I used it on a marketplace transaction and marketplace is notorious for needing to be careful with the deals you do. Smooth transaction. Of course I didn't read the fine print and my bank treated it as a cash advance which was a bit of a pain re my credit card which then needed to be paid in full. But extremely happy with the whole transaction.

This made our day, thank you so much. Sorry about the cash advance surprise, that's a banking quirk we'll look into. So glad the deal itself was smooth.
