With the Ricardo app, you can search for items and save sellers. We’ll send you an email as soon as new products are found for your saved searches.

🔒 The Secure Marketplace
For listings with Ricardo MoneyGuard, you can pay with TWINT or credit card, and the money will only be released once the sale is completed. This way, all parties are optimally protected. Additionally, practical shipping solutions make the sales process extra secure.

✨ Smart Shopping Assistant
Ricardo AI recognizes the design, shape, and color of the item you are searching for and shows you either the same or similar items available on Ricardo. The smart shopping assistant helps you find it quickly and easily.

💸 Suggest a price

Update: they nuked the scrolling. Scrolling continuously in one direction works fine, it's changing the directions that feels like I'm having a stroke. Seems like they have a team of idiots working on this app. Old review:Mandatory to write your address for bids that are pick up only. Really don't like that at all.... Added money security feature, seems like a scam to pay more for nothing. Really wish Ricardo would stop doing shady stuff and get their act together

AFTER 18 YEARS I AM OUT - THEY MADE "MONEYGUARD" OBLIGATORY! - NO SERVICE, NEW TAX EVERY MONTH. Still no dark mode or any customisation. Not possible to block known scammers, fakes and drop-sellers. 12% sale fee + MoneyScam tax! "AI" mixes all things together: guns, bag clips, dog leashes and climbing gear are the same? Even an "exact phrase" search results include some completely unrelated stuff. Guns and gun parts in results whatever one tries to search! What a mess!!!

Hi, we are sorry that you did not enjoy the app as much. We will try to resolve the issues as soon as possible. Regarding MoneyGuard, this functionality is in the current version of the app optional. We hope you can enjoy the app again in the future!

Useless, the website is much better. The link with notification is useless, you click on the notification and land in the app home page (eg, "you have an answer" and instead of redirecting to the specific offer you land on the main app page). The list of new offers is similar. The email notifications are way better. The daily summary on email are just what you need. Uninstalling. EDIT after reply: I reinstalled the current version. Still same problem. I get notified of 5 items (new items or soon ending items), I click on them, the notifications don't go away and I just get redirected to the "watch list" (where I have many more items that those 5, so the notification doesn't help).
