Answers to the most common questions about buying, selling and your account on LAAR.
Account & sign in
- Register with your full name, email address and a password. We send a confirmation email — open it to activate your account.
- On the sign-in page choose “Forgot password?” and enter your email. We send a reset link that opens a page where you set a new password.
Posting an ad
- Tap Post, choose a category, add photos, a title, a description, a price and a location, then publish.
- Yes. Open My Listings, select the ad, then use Edit to change the details or Delete to remove it.
Buying
- Open the listing and start a chat, or use call and WhatsApp when the seller has enabled those options.
- No. LAAR does not process payments and is not part of any transaction. Buyers and sellers arrange payment and handover between themselves.
Selling
- In My Listings you can mark an ad as sold, hide it, or set it back to active at any time.
- Set your price and turn on “Negotiable” if you are open to offers. Buyers can also send an offer inside the chat.
Messages
- Open the Messages tab. Each conversation belongs to one listing and shows the seller or buyer you are talking to.
- Inside a conversation you can send a price offer. The other person sees it in the chat and can accept or decline it.
Saved ads
- Tap the heart on any listing. Saved ads appear in the Saved tab while you are signed in.
Verification
- Your email is verified when you open the confirmation link we send after you register.
- In your profile, add a phone number and confirm it with the one-time code we send by SMS.
- A badge shows only that a seller completed that specific step, such as confirming an email or phone number. It is not a guarantee about the seller, the item or the deal.
Profile
- Open Profile to change your name, photo, location and contact preferences.
- Use Sign out in the profile menu on desktop, or on the Profile page on mobile.
Language & country
- Use the language selector in the header. LAAR is available in English, Pashto, Dari, Urdu and Arabic, with full right-to-left support.
- Use the country selector in the header to switch between Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan. Browsing and posting follow the country you select.
Safety
- Never share one-time codes or passwords, meet in a public place, inspect the item before paying, and be careful with advance payments. See the Safety page for the full guidance.
Reporting
- Use the report action inside the conversation. This sends the message to moderation.
- Use Report a Problem. That form is for product, account and technical issues and is separate from reporting abuse.
