How to use Leboncoin?
Browsing the Marketplace
The website’s interface is straightforward. Don’t worry if you don’t speak French—you can use a browser extension or an online translation tool to navigate easily.
You don’t need to sign up to browse listings. Search through categories like apartments in Paris, gaming equipment, or vintage furniture to see what’s available. However, to contact sellers or make purchases, you’ll need to create an account.
Payment and Shipping on Leboncoin
Accepted Payment Methods
Leboncoin accepts Visa and Mastercard but does not support PayPal. Always pay directly through the platform for added security.
Shipping Options
Some sellers offer shipping within France through services like:
- Mondial Relay
- Colissimo (La Poste)
- Chronopost
You can choose home delivery or pickup at a local collection point. However, for international buyers, sellers may not ship outside France. That’s where parcel forwarding services come in handy.

Tips for Safe and Secure Transactions
Buying on Leboncoin can be rewarding, but staying cautious is essential:
- Avoid Scams: Only pay through Leboncoin’s official payment system. Avoid sending money through PayPal or other methods outside the platform.
- Protect Your Information: Share your personal details only after completing the purchase through the platform.
