When there is an interesting product at a good price, it is normal for there to be some “competition” when it comes to getting hold of it. If you’ve already agreed to a purchase with the seller, you might want to make sure they’re not going to sell it to someone else a few seconds later. Therefore, you will be interested to know how to reserve a product on Wallapop in 2022. The reality is that it is not something that you can do as a buyer. It is the seller who has to mark the product as reserved in his ad when he has agreed to the sale with you. But, in the conversation in which you have agreed to the sale, you can ask him to do it.

If you are a buyer, you have two ways to mark a product as reserved, depending on whether you are accessing it from the mobile application or from the Wallapop web version.

Mobile Application

1. Enter the advertisement for your product.
2. Find the Reserve button.
3. Simply click on it and the product will appear as reserved for possible future buyers.

Web Version

1. Access Wallapop from your computer.
2. Go to the chat window you have with your buyer.
3. Press the Reserve button and your buyer will make sure that you have reserved it for them.

How to Cancel a Reservation on Wallapop

Purchases on Wallapop do not usually behave like a closed contract. There are many times that it seems that we have a closed deal and later one of the two parties backs out. If a purchase that you had reserved is cancelled, you are probably wondering how to cancel a reservation on Wallapop. This process is completely reversible, so if a purchase is not closed, it will not be a problem for you.

Undoing the option to reserve a product is as simple as clicking the same button again. Whether you have marked it as reserved by mistake or if it was the buyer who backed out, it is as simple as pressing a button to reverse this process.

If you are the buyer and you have decided that you do not want to buy a product that you had reserved, it is not possible to cancel the reservation directly. This can only be done by the seller. Therefore, if you have changed your mind about a purchase you were thinking of making, you should contact the seller to ask them to remove the reservation. We recommend that you do so as soon as possible; otherwise, other buyers who may be interested may believe that they do not have access to said product.

How to Reactivate a Product on Wallapop

If you’ve placed an ad and no one has bought it within two months, the ad will automatically go inactive. This is done to prevent the platform from filling up with old ads. But if you are still interested in selling it, you will be interested to know how to reactivate a product on Wallapop.

When you enter your profile, you will see how the ad you placed more than two months ago will appear as inactive. In the event that you want to make it active again, what you will have to do is enter and press the option Reactivate product. Your ad will once again be active and available to be found.

Keep in mind that sometimes the reason an ad has been inactivated is not that too much time has passed, but simply that important or required information is missing. In this case, when you enter the inactive ad you will see an option called Add information. Click on it and add the information you consider necessary. In a matter of a moment your ad will be active again.
