- Check the sellerEvery listing shows the seller's home parish. A seller verified by their parish or the archdiocese shows a badge.
- Send your enquiry through this siteKeep the conversation here so there is a record. Be careful if a seller asks you to move straight to another app.
- Meet somewhere safeFor pickup, a parish is a good place to meet. Look at the item before you pay or confirm.
- Pay in personLook at the item before you hand over money. Never send money ahead to someone you have not met.
- If something is wrong, tell usUse Report on the listing. A person reads every report.
Never
- Send a bank PIN, password or one-time code to anyone.
- Pay a “release” or “processing” fee to receive an item.
- Pay for anything without seeing it and confirming who owns it.
- Buy or sell a Mass intention or a sacrament. They are never for sale.
Paying
You and the seller arrange payment. Buyers and sellers arrange payment between themselves, usually at pickup. EcclesiaOne and the archdiocese do not hold or handle the money, and cannot get it back for you.
Blessed or not
Religious articles are sold unblessed. Take them to a priest after Mass; a blessing is free.
If it goes wrong
Payment is between buyer and seller, so EcclesiaOne cannot refund you. If a seller breaks the rules, report the listing: the archdiocese marketplace moderators can take it down or remove the seller.
