A buyer who asks you to forward a verification code is trying to take over one of your accounts.
Selling online
Sell online without strangers in your phone
Marketplaces, classifieds and rental sites run on phone numbers — and every listing exposes yours to hundreds of strangers. Give buyers a HeyNum number, answer them from your laptop, and retire it once the sale is done.
- One inbox just for buyers
- Answer from your computer
- Retire the number after the sale
Why a second number
Your personal number, protected
With your personal number
- Your number stays public on every listing for weeks.
- Scammers target sellers with fake payment links and “verification code” tricks.
- Buyers keep calling long after the item has gone.
With a HeyNum number
- Publish a HeyNum number and keep yours private.
- Recognise the classic scams — and never hand over a code.
- Switch the number off between sales, or let it go when you're done.
Set it up
Ready in three steps
It takes about a minute — and you never need to show an ID.
- 1
Get a number where you sell
A local number gets more replies: pick the country of your buyers.
- 2
Add it to your listings
Buyers call and text it like any mobile, and you answer from your laptop or your phone.
- 3
Close the deal, close the line
Switch the number off between sales, or cancel it once everything has sold.
Practical tips
Five habits that keep you safe
Good advice, whether or not you use HeyNum.
Ignore payment links
Fake “payment received” pages ask for your card details. Marketplaces never pay you through a link sent by text.
Keep agreements in writing
Use the marketplace's own messaging for prices and terms, and your number for practical details.
Meet in public for local sales
Choose a busy place and check the payment has really arrived before you hand over the item.
Beware of courier stories
Buyers who can't meet, overpay, or send a “courier” to collect are a classic scam pattern.

FAQ
Selling online: your questions
Still have a question?
Our support team is made of real humans. Write to us and we'll get back to you fast.
Contact supportWhich marketplaces can I use it on?
Any marketplace, classifieds or rental site that asks for a phone number to show on your listing or to verify your account. Most accept HeyNum numbers; each sets its own rules.
Can I keep the number for future sales?
Of course. Switch it off between sales so nobody can call, and turn it back on when you list something new.
Can I have one number per platform?
Yes. Add as many numbers as you need — each with its own name, greeting and settings, all in the same inbox.
Can buyers call me, or only text?
Both. Calls ring in your browser on every device where HeyNum is open, and you can forward them to another phone when you're out.
