How do I buy something on Finn.no as a foreigner?
Vend account, Fiks ferdig, BankID and buying from abroad.
Short answer
You can buy on FINN as a foreigner by creating a free Vend account with your e-mail address and paying through Fiks ferdig by card or Vipps. FINN holds the money until the carrier confirms delivery, and you then have 24 hours to check the item. Sellers ship with Helthjem, Posten or PostNord.
Why
- FINN's help centre says registration is simple and free, and a new Vend account is confirmed through a link sent to your e-mail address.
- With Fiks ferdig, FINN handles both shipping and payment, and both the buyer and the seller need a Vend account.
- The buyer pays for the item and shipping in advance, and the money is held until Posten, Helthjem or PostNord reports that the item has been delivered.
Details
The sign-up steps in FINN's help centre ask for an e-mail address, and a blue tick next to a user's name shows that the person has verified with BankID. The buyer also pays a Trygg betaling fee, which varies with the price of the item and is not refunded. For expensive items FINN recommends meeting in person and inspecting the item before handover.
Tip
Keep the payment inside FINN: the help centre calls Fiks ferdig the safest way to trade for both buyer and seller.
What may differ
If you live outside Norway, ask the seller before you buy how the item can be sent, since FINN's help pages for Fiks ferdig name only Helthjem, Posten and PostNord and do not cover delivery abroad. Buying from a private seller also means the right of withdrawal does not apply.
