Tokens

Tokens are One Two Sell's in-platform currency. They keep the platform clean (every premium action has a small cost, which discourages spam), and they're how the most powerful features — like Boost — are priced.

You don't need tokens to start. Every new account gets a starter balance, and the most common everyday actions on One Two Sell are free.

What you can do without tokens

These are free on every One Two Sell account:

• Browse the Deals, Showcases, Items, and Tales feeds.
• Post a Deal, Showcase, or Tale in normal mode.
• Publish, edit, pause and confirm your offer on an item once you've added it to My Items.
• Follow items, request catalogue products, and report a price.
• Send and receive messages, including voice messages, attachments, and reactions.
• Like, follow, share, and report.
• Use search and filters.
• View any other user's profile.

Tokens are only needed when you want extra reach or when you bring back content that already had its run.

What costs tokens

All prices are set by One Two Sell and can change. The token cost of any priced action is shown clearly before you confirm — there are no surprise charges.

How to earn tokens

You earn tokens through three channels:

1. Sign-up bonus

Every new One Two Sell account starts with a free balance — currently 150 tokens — credited automatically when your account is created. That's enough to test boost on your first deal.

2. Referrals

When you invite a business that signs up using your referral code, both of you receive a token bonus. See the Referrals page for the current rates and tracking. Power users on One Two Sell earn the bulk of their tokens through referrals — it's the cheapest way to grow your balance.

3. Promotions and milestones

One Two Sell occasionally credits tokens for:

• Activity streaks.
• Verified accounts (see Verification).
• Special events and seasonal campaigns.

These are credited automatically and announced in-app or by notification.

How to buy tokens

You can top up at any time:

1. Open the Wallet tab (or Settings → Wallet).
2. Tap Buy tokens.
3. Pick a package.
4. Pay.

Current packages:

The bigger packs cost less per token — Pro is ~25% cheaper per token than Starter, and Business is ~33% cheaper.

How payment works

• Web — secure payments via Stripe. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other Stripe-supported methods.
• iOS — In-App Purchase through your Apple ID.
• Android — Google Play Billing through your Google account.

The token balance is the same across web, iOS, and Android — buy on one platform and the tokens are immediately available on all of them.

Your token balance

Your current balance is shown:

• At the top of the Wallet tab.
• In the boost confirmation screen before you spend.
• In the deal/showcase posting screen if a token charge applies.

If you don't have enough tokens for an action, One Two Sell tells you exactly how many you're short and offers to top up.

Transaction history

Every credit and debit is recorded. Open the Wallet tab to see:

• Earnings — sign-up bonus, referrals, promotions.
• Spending — boosts, reposts, items you've joined, any other priced actions. Zero-token entries are left out, so the list is only things that actually cost you something.
• Purchases — every Stripe / In-App / Play Store top-up with the date and amount.

This is useful for accounting and for understanding where your tokens go.

Tokens never expire

Tokens you buy or earn don't expire. They stay on your account until you spend them.

Common questions

Are tokens real money?

Tokens are an in-app currency you buy with real money. They don't have a cash-out value — you can't convert tokens back into dollars. They're spent on premium actions inside One Two Sell.

Why does the platform need tokens at all?

Two reasons. First, charging a small fee for Boost keeps the boost spots competitive — anyone can post freely, but only serious sellers/buyers want to pay for top-of-feed placement. Second, the token economy is what makes Referrals work as a real growth incentive: invite a business, both sides earn something usable.

Do I have to buy tokens to use One Two Sell?

No. Posting Deals, Showcases, and Tales, messaging, and browsing are all free. Tokens are for paid extras like Boost. Many active users never buy tokens — they earn enough through Referrals.

What if my token balance goes to 0?

Nothing breaks. You can keep posting, messaging, and using One Two Sell normally — including keeping your existing item prices current. You just can't boost, repost expired deals, or join a new item until you top up or earn more.

Will the token prices change?

Prices for Boost, packs, and posting are shown live in the app and can change with platform updates. The price is always shown to you before you spend.

What happens if my purchase is refunded?

If a Stripe / Apple / Google purchase is reversed, the corresponding tokens are deducted from your balance. If you've already spent them, your balance can go negative until you top up or earn the difference back.

Are tokens transferable to another user?

No — tokens are tied to your account. The only way to give value to another user is through Referrals, which credits tokens to both parties when they sign up using your code.
