Features & Capabilities

Meet Scout! On Scout, you’ll get your own personal shopper and shop assistant who finds what you’re looking for and sells what you no longer need – without the hassle of listings and endless scrolling. Scout makes buying and selling as easy has having a conversation.

SELL WITHOUT CREATING A LISTING Have something to sell? Just tell Scout.

On other marketplaces, listing a single item takes up to 20 minutes — and only 1 in 3 listings ever sell. That's an hour of work for every item you move.

Scout changes this completely. Just talk through your home and mention anything you'd consider selling. Scout starts a listing for each item automatically. No photos. No forms. No hassle. You can refine your listings anytime, or leave them as-is until Scout finds you a buyer.

FIND WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR Looking for something specific — or hard to find? Just tell Scout.

Scout searches brand sites, major retailers, and second-hand marketplaces so you don't have to. And if something isn't listed anywhere online, Scout will reach out to other users who might have it. No stone or pebble left unturned.

FOR FAMILIES — REDUCE THE MENTAL LOAD Shopping for a household? Just tell Scout.

Create profiles for everyone you shop for — kids, a partner, parents, even pets. Scout remembers sizes, preferences, and needs so you don't have to keep it all in your head.

FOR COLLECTORS — FIND THAT RARE ITEM Hunting for something specific? Just tell Scout.

Scout is built for collectors. Whether you're tracking down a trading card, a vintage toy, a rare sneaker, or a grail comic book, Scout digs through major marketplaces, small niche shops, and can even reach out to other users who share your interests. The find you've been waiting for is out there.

FOR DEAL SHOPPERS — AN EASY WAY TO SAVE Looking for the best price? Just tell Scout.

Scout compares new and second-hand options side by side and connects you directly with sellers — so you can negotiate bundles, find unexpected deals, and keep more money in your pocket.

FOR RESELLERS — A SMARTER WAY TO SELL Already selling on Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Poshmark, or Depop? Just tell Scout.

Link your existing storefronts and Scout builds your seller profile, learns your inventory, and alerts you when interested buyers come looking. Sell within the app or direct buyers to your existing shop. Scout is the shop assistant you never had.

This app showed potential a few months ago but now it’s such a pain to try to use I’m just going to delete it. Where it used to be basically a kids posh now it’s a whole mess. There’s no way to just “window shop” or browse without knowing and searching for every little specific thing. Then when you do it’s about 95% links to items sold elsewhere online and not on the app???? It’s so time consuming to post items it’s not worth it unless you’re posting less than 5 items and then good luck hope it was perfect because it’s either delete and repost or leave up a post with problems. Also good luck anyone actually sees them with the new interface. Desktop version works just fine but where’s the convenience in that? Not worth the hassle anymore sadly 🤷🏽‍♀️ Developers - go back to the way it was!! It went from fun, functional and cute to just a waste of time 👎

Loved the app when it was focused on parenting community and advice. It pivoted into a marketplace which was weird enough but now has gone full in on agentic shopping helper or something, just not a problem I need solved. Back to Reddit to find mom support

Most listings on the marketplace have “expired”. I hate that a lot of the listings are actually links to buy new from the retailer. I also especially hate the use of AI generated listings. I think people are capable of writing their own captions. I had high hopes but back to Facebook marketplace I go!
