Can You Sell Physical Products on Gig.tn?

No — But Here’s What You Can Sell, and Why Escrow Makes It Work

Updated over 2 months ago

Gig.tn isn’t a store. It’s not Shopify, it’s not Etsy, and it’s definitely not Jumia.
What Gig.tn is — and what makes it different — is a platform built around digital services and secure deals between people, powered by escrow.

We don’t sell products. We sell trust.

Let’s break that down.


🚫 Physical Products? Not Allowed.

This part is simple: Gig.tn does not support shipping, logistics, delivery tracking, or handling of any physical goods.

You cannot:

  • Sell T-shirts, handmade items, books, hardware, or electronics

  • Add shipping costs

  • Offer delivery or returns

  • Post gigs that say “I will send you this product…”

It’s not a limitation — it’s a design decision. Why?

Because physical sales come with a mountain of issues we don’t want to bring into the ecosystem:

  • Delays, lost packages, customs issues

  • Buyers claiming “they never received it”

  • Impossible-to-resolve refund arguments

  • Payment providers flagging us for prohibited item sales

That’s why we stick to what Gig.tn does best: digital services and safe, verified transactions.


🧠 So What Can You Sell? A Lot More Than You Think

Gig.tn isn’t just for freelancers offering logos, content writing, or websites.
It’s for anyone doing deals online that require trust.

Because at the core of Gig.tn is escrow — and escrow isn’t just for gig-based services.


Escrow is for big decisions, risky purchases, and “you first, no you first” conversations.

Here’s a list of services that make total sense on Gig.tn — especially when you want peace of mind:


✅ Examples of Services That Can (and Should) Use Escrow on Gig.tn

  • Buying or selling Facebook pages

  • Buying or selling Instagram accounts

  • Purchasing TikTok, Twitter, or Snapchat handles

  • Acquiring YouTube channels or monetized accounts

  • Transferring Discord servers or communities

  • Selling online courses or coaching packages

  • Arranging affiliate partnership deals

  • Licensing stock video, music, or large file libraries

  • Selling SEO backlink placements

  • Website domain transfers (e.g., .tn or .com ownership)

  • Buying access to monetized websites

  • Renting or selling ad space on newsletters or blogs

  • Selling source code or custom-built software

  • Paying someone to whitelist a blockchain token

  • Hiring a growth hacker or digital marketing agency

  • Buying a PDF or eBook license for resale

  • Paying someone to manage dropshipping store setup

  • Delegating a mobile app build

  • Creating a custom SaaS or platform prototype

  • Settling private B2B service contracts

  • Licensing or buying a Telegram group

  • Acquiring or selling Notion templates, Figma UI kits, or Shopify themes

If any of those deals happen on Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or Instagram — and there’s zero protection — that’s a scam waiting to happen.

Gig.tn solves that.


🔒 Escrow Makes Digital Deals Safer

You don’t need a lawyer. You don’t need a complicated contract.
You just need a secure middleman who holds the money until both sides do what they agreed on.

Here’s what happens on Gig.tn:

  1. The buyer pays — funds are held in escrow

  2. The seller does the job / delivers the asset

  3. The buyer checks and approves

  4. Gig.tn releases the funds to the seller

Nobody gets scammed. Nobody gets ghosted.
If something goes wrong, Gig.tn steps in to help resolve the situation fairly.


🚫 What Happens If You Try to Sell Physical Stuff Anyway?

It’ll get rejected.

Any gig that mentions:

  • “Delivery included”

  • “I will ship…”

  • “You’ll receive this item physically”

  • “Free shipping in Tunisia”

Will be:

  • Removed by moderators

  • Flagged for breaking terms

  • Possibly cause account suspension

Gig.tn is not a logistics platform, and we won’t add tools to track parcels or manage warehouse-level refunds. Ever.


🎯 What To Do Instead

If you’re a creator, maker, or seller of physical things — you still have options:

✅ Turn your work into a digital service

Examples:

  • Artist? Sell digital illustrations, not printed canvases

  • Crafter? Sell tutorials or patterns, not the finished product

  • Seller? Offer a consultation call on how to start a similar business

  • Dropshipper? Sell store setup services, not physical inventory

If you can send it as a file, a video, a call, or a transfer — you can sell it on Gig.tn.


✅ Final Word

Gig.tn is for serious freelancers, yes. But also for serious digital transactions.
It's not a souk, a boutique, or an Etsy clone.


It’s a place where people do real work, make real deals, and get paid securely — with zero BS in the middle.

So no, you can’t sell physical products. But you can sell almost every kind of digital service, skill, or online deal — and we’ll protect you all the way.
