Frequently Asked Questions

MO stands for “Mata Oney” in Sinhala which also means “I want.” It is an online marketplace for the sale of pre-loved or new items and advertising for space for learning, enrichment, lifestyle, home and maintenance services.
We offer a platform for sellers, buyers and service providers to come together to buy, sell and/or offer a service.

After you register, simply press the plus sign at the bottom of the App on your home  screen and fill out the form which asks you questions about your product or service  being sold. It is important that you are accurate with the description to ensure buyers  can correctly find what you are listing. Simply fill out the form and then post it. We do  not need to review your listing prior to listing.

There is a share icon on you listing page which allows you to copy and share the link  with other members outside the app. Simply click on the required icon and it will copy  a link to the clip board. Please note only a preview of the app will be shown and it is  necessary for the buyer to download the app before reviewing the complete page.  Encourage your buyer to do so as it will only take a few moments to join our community  for free!

Sellers list their items for sale for a listed price and buyers can see what you have  posted by searching for your product name or profile. Buyers have the option to  negotiate the price with the seller. Provided that the seller is happy with the negotiated  selling price, the seller accepts the offer and buyer can proceed to in person pick up  or use MO Delivery to receive their goods.

In order to use our delivery feature in MO, the payment for the item needs to happen  via the app. Simply follow the instruction to check out the item and make payment via  our payment gateway. Once payment is complete, our couriers will arrange for pick up  by contacting the seller with a pick up date and time. At this point the buyer’s money is  still with MO. Only when our courier informs us that they have delivered the item to the  buyer, will the buyer’s money be released to the seller.

If you use the MO App for payment and delivery, we will only deposit the money to  your account within 24 hours of the buyer receiving the item. If there are any  overweight chargers, we will deduct that from the Total Sale Value of the item.

In short it is the buyer that bares the cost of the package based on estimated weight  given by the seller. At the time of check out, the buyer will incur the cost of delivery  fee to his or her location with a fee attached to the weight of the package.  

Fee based on Weight of Package and Location of Buyer + Cost of Product Sold = Total Sale Value 

If the weight of the package is over the estimated weight by the courier at the time of  pick up, the seller is obligated to pay the difference during settlement time. This  means MO will deduct any added cost incurred due to the discrepancy in weight and  deduct this amount from seller before depositing the final sale revenue from the  product. It is therefore the obligation of the seller to accurately measure package  weight inclusive of packaging at the time of listing the product. 

Once delivery of the package is made by MO delivery, any chargers for the  overweight amount will be deducted from the sale price of the product received by  MO and the balance sales amount will be debited to the Seller.
