A step-by-step guide to buying and selling livestock with negotiation and escrow protection.
Find the perfect livestock, negotiate directly, pay securely, and receive with confidence — all from your phone, anywhere in the world.
Get the Garabaly app from the App Store or Google Play. Create your account with your phone number, Google, or Apple ID. Complete your profile for access to all marketplace features.
Explore thousands of verified livestock listings. Use filters to find exactly what you need — by category (cattle, sheep, goats, poultry), location, price range, and health certification status. Each listing includes photos, detailed specs, and often voice descriptions in local languages.
This is what makes Garabaly different. Start a conversation with the seller — ask about the animal, request more photos or videos, and negotiate the price. In West Africa, price is a conversation, not a label. Garabaly respects that. Reach consensus, then move to payment.
Check the seller's verification status, ratings, and reviews from previous buyers. Review the animal's health certificate from a verified veterinarian. Know exactly what you're buying before you commit.
Need a butcher, delivery driver, or vet inspection? Add verified service providers to your order directly in the app. Each service provider has ratings, reviews, and is paid through the same escrow system — so you're protected on every part of the order.
When you've agreed on a price, tap "Buy with Escrow." Your payment is securely held by Garabaly — the seller does not receive the money yet. Pay via Orange Money, Wave, MTN MoMo, Moov Money, bank transfer, or international card. Multi-currency support means diaspora buyers can pay in EUR, USD, GBP, or any of 50+ supported currencies.
Once the seller confirms (they have 24 hours to do so, or you're automatically refunded), track your order through every stage: confirmed, preparing, in transit, and delivered. Push notifications and in-app updates keep you informed at every step.
The seller arranges delivery or you meet at an agreed location. Inspect the livestock to make sure it matches the listing. Take your time — the escrow protection gives you peace of mind.
Every order comes with a unique 6-character confirmation code that only you, the buyer, can see. Share this code with the seller or delivery driver upon receipt to release the escrow funds instantly to all parties. If there's a problem, you can open a dispute and your money stays protected.
Reach thousands of buyers across West Africa and the diaspora. Get fair prices through real negotiation and receive guaranteed payment.
Download the app and create your seller account. Complete ID verification to earn your "Verified Seller" badge. This builds trust with buyers and gives your listings higher visibility.
Tap the "+" button to create a listing. Add multiple photos or videos of your livestock, fill in details (breed, age, weight, price), and optionally record a voice description in your language. Upload a health certificate if available.
When a buyer is interested, they'll message you directly. Answer their questions, share additional photos or videos, and negotiate the price — just like at the physical market. Garabaly gives you the tools to communicate naturally.
When a buyer purchases your livestock with escrow, you'll receive a push notification. Confirm the order within 24 hours to lock in the sale — otherwise the transaction is automatically cancelled and the buyer is refunded. This protects both sides.
Coordinate with the buyer on delivery or pickup. Garabaly connects you with verified delivery drivers right in the app — they're part of the same escrow-protected order, so everyone gets paid.
The buyer shares their unique 6-character confirmation code upon receipt. Enter the code and funds are released to your Garabaly wallet instantly. Withdraw to Orange Money, Wave, MTN MoMo, Moov Money, or bank whenever you're ready — it's your money.
Garabaly's escrow is a world-class financial system that holds payment securely through five stages — from the moment you pay to the moment the seller receives funds. Every transaction is encrypted, audited, and protected by fraud detection.
When you tap "Buy with Escrow," your payment is securely locked — the seller never receives money directly. Your wallet shows the hold in real time.
The seller must confirm the order within 24 hours. If they don't, the escrow is automatically cancelled and your funds are returned — no action needed.
Track progress in real time — from preparation to delivery. Service providers (butcher, transport) are activated only when the livestock stage is complete.
You receive a unique 6-character code. Share it with the seller or delivery driver upon receipt to cryptographically verify delivery and release funds.
Funds release instantly to all parties. If there's an issue, open a dispute — your money stays protected. Garabaly mediates with dual-admin approval for fairness.

50+ currencies supported — XOF, XAF, NGN, GHS, KES, EUR, USD, GBP, and more. Real-time exchange rates with automatic conversion. Trade in the currency you know.
Garabaly supports three types of orders: Seller-Only, Service-Only, and Combined multiparty orders. Add verified service providers to any transaction — all protected by escrow.
Verified transport professionals who specialize in safe livestock delivery. Track your delivery in real time with live status updates. Escrow-protected — they're only paid after you confirm receipt.
Book a verified butcher as part of your order. In multiparty orders, the butcher is activated only after the livestock transaction is complete — ensuring the right animal is processed.
Request a vet inspection before or after purchase. Veterinarians issue digital health certificates that are attached to listings, giving buyers confidence in the animal's condition.
Whether you're buying for Tabaski, selling from your farm, or sending livestock home from abroad — Garabaly has you covered with escrow protection on every transaction.
