Carrot Introduces Contactless 'Buy Now' Service for Used Goods

## Daangn, an Innovation in Contactless Used-Item Transactions! 'Direct Buy' Secures Both Convenience and Safety Daangn, a local community platform, has opened a new horizon for used-item transactions. Now, users can experience the 'Direct Buy' feature when trading items on Daangn Market, allowing them to process everything from payment to delivery at once, without meeting in person. Up until now, Daangn Market users have consistently expressed a desire to complete transactions without meeting in person or to make immediate payments at their desired moment. Daangn listened to these user voices and has now fully launched this 'Direct Buy' feature to provide an even safer and more convenient transaction experience. **'Direct Buy' works like this:** * **Seller:** Simply activate the 'Direct Buy' option when creating a post. After entering shipping information such as contact details, origin, and item weight, the designated courier company will directly pick up the item. * **Buyer:** Upon finding a desired item, after entering the shipping address, they can immediately pay the amount including shipping fees and conveniently receive it via courier. **Applicable Categories and Reliable Delivery Partners:** 'Direct Buy' will first be applied to the apparel/accessories and beauty/cosmetics categories. Daangn stated that it plans to gradually expand the categories to which the service applies, depending on users' enthusiastic response and demand. To introduce this feature, Daangn Pay has signed a business agreement with CJ Logistics, a leading domestic courier company. Both companies promised to innovate the hyper-local based lifestyle logistics experience and to cooperate closely to enhance user-friendly delivery experiences. **Safety First, Robust Protection Measures:** The most crucial aspect, 'safety,' has not been overlooked. All transactions made through 'Direct Buy' proceed via Daangn Pay's 'Secure Payment' system. With a structure where payment is only settled to the seller after the buyer properly receives the item and confirms the purchase, users can transact with peace of mind, without worrying about fraud. Furthermore, to prevent the valuable personal information of sellers and buyers from being exposed externally, 'Direct Buy' exclusive waybills are used. A Daangn official emphasized, "Users' transaction patterns and demands are becoming increasingly diverse," and stressed, "The 'Direct Buy' feature was designed to allow safe and convenient transactions even in contactless situations." Daangn promises to continuously improve its services for user protection and enhanced convenience going forward.
