A step-by-step guide to buying and selling livestock with negotiation and escrow protection.
Find the right animal, negotiate directly, pay securely, and receive with confidence — all from your phone, anywhere in the world.
Buying costs you no Garabaly fee. You pay the price you agreed — only the card or mobile-money operator's own fee may apply.
Money protected
The seller receives nothing until you confirm receipt.
You inspect first
Receive and inspect the livestock. You approve only if everything is right.
Protected if disputed
A problem? Open a dispute within 24 hours of entering your code, and the seller's share stays in escrow until it's resolved.
"Sending money to a stranger was an act of faith. With escrow, the money waits for my code."
Download the app and sign up with your phone number.
Filter by seller, price, region, country, health certificate, promotions or Tabaski.
Talk to the seller by voice and agree on the price. Like at the market.
Check verification, ratings, and any vet health certificate.
Add a butcher, vet, or delivery — up to 3 services on one order.
Card, mobile money, or wallet. Nothing is paid out before you enter your code.
Follow every stage: confirmed, preparing, in transit, delivered.
Receive and inspect the livestock. Take your time — you're protected.
Your 6-character code releases the whole order. You alone release the funds.
Reach buyers beyond your market, all the way to the diaspora. Negotiate a fair price — and when the buyer pays in the app, the money is in escrow before you load a single animal.
Listing is free. You only pay 5% once the sale closes — never more.
Committed buyer
The money is already deposited and secured. No more buyers who vanish.
Confirmed sale
You prepare and deliver knowing the sale is firm.
Protected payment
Once the buyer enters their code, your share is released after a 24-hour protection window, unless a dispute is opened.
"At the market, people promise to pay 'tomorrow.' Here, the money is already deposited — secured, and released after confirmation."
