Vehicles come with brand, model, year, mileage, fuel and transmission filters. Property listings support rent and sale across apartments, houses, villas, offices, land and more. Construction covers both materials and services. Every category speaks its own language — so buyers find exactly what they're looking for, faster.

Find it, check it, contact the seller your way

AYE Market is built around one idea: you should never have to guess. Every listing carries real photos with a full-screen zoom gallery, a detailed description, the seller's verification status, and the exact location on a map — before you ever reach out.

  • Powerful search — keyword search across every category, with singular/plural matching so "phone" also finds "phones".
  • Advanced filters — narrow by price range, condition, brand, model, and category-specific attributes like bedrooms, mileage, or storage size.
  • Nearby search — with GPS permission, see listings sorted by real distance from where you stand.
  • Tigray location system — browse by the real administrative hierarchy: region, zone, wereda, tabiya, and city — not a generic address box.
  • Favorites & saved searches — save any listing to your Favorites, or save a whole search and get notified when new matches appear.
  • Four contact channels — in-app chat, phone call, WhatsApp, or SMS. The seller chooses which they accept; you choose which you prefer.

Post in minutes, manage like a pro

Publishing a listing takes minutes: pick a category, add up to 8 photos, set your price and location, publish. But underneath, AYE Market gives sellers real tools — not just an ad slot.

  • Category-smart forms — every category has its own tailored fields, so your listing carries the details buyers filter by.
  • Full listing lifecycle — publish, edit, pause, mark sold, archive, duplicate, or delete from My Listings, anytime.
  • Auto-save drafts — your listing saves itself as you type; come back and finish whenever.
  • Seller Dashboard — track total views, favorites, sold counts, and (with Premium) deeper analytics and trends.
  • Reviews & reputation — buyers rate their experience, and your rating shows on every listing you post.
  • Contact preference — accept chat only, calls only, or both. Your phone number is never shown unless you allow it.

A Complete Jobs Platform Inside

AYE Market isn't just for goods — it's a full two-sided jobs marketplace for Tigray, with dedicated experiences for job seekers and employers.

🔎
Find Jobs
Browse openings by category, qualification, employment type, and salary range. Every posting carries industry, experience level, education requirements, benefits, and application deadline — filterable, not buried in text.
📄
Job Seeker Profile & CV
Build one professional profile — CV upload, skills, languages, education, experience level, expected salary, and how employers may contact you. Your "Jobs Wanted" ad stays in sync with it automatically.
One-Tap Applications
Apply with your CV in seconds, then track every application's status — pending, viewed, shortlisted — from your applications dashboard.
📣
Post a Job
Employers post openings with company name, vacancies, responsibilities, required skills, salary, deadline, and location. Manage all postings and applicants from the Employer Dashboard.
🧑‍🔧
Hire Talent — Jobs Wanted
Browse candidate ads by profession, qualification, experience, and employment type. See skills, education and expected salary up front — and view CVs once your account is verified.
🔐
CV Privacy Protection
A candidate's CV is personal. Only identity-verified employers can open CVs — the same document protection applied to job applications and Jobs Wanted ads alike.

Features That Make Trading
Simple and Safe

Every feature below exists in the app today — nothing here is a promise.

💬
Real-Time Chat
Message any seller instantly, share photos, and pick conversations back up anytime. Typing indicators, unread counts, and the listing you're discussing pinned right in the thread — without ever sharing your phone number.
📞
Call, WhatsApp & SMS
When a seller shares their number, reach them the way Tigray actually communicates — a direct call, a WhatsApp message pre-filled with the listing, or a plain SMS.
🗺️
GPS + Interactive Map
Pin your listing's exact location on a map, browse what's nearby, and search by distance. The location picker follows Tigray's real administrative structure down to tabiya level.
🔔
Smart Notifications
New messages, price drops on favorites, saved-search matches, application updates, listing approvals — delivered as push notifications with a full notification center in-app.
Verified Sellers
Sellers can verify with a Fayda ID, Kebele Residence ID, Driver's License, Business License, or Passport — reviewed by a human moderator. Verified accounts wear a badge buyers can trust.
Reviews & Ratings
Rate sellers after a transaction. Ratings, response rate, and member-since dates appear on every seller profile — reputation that's earned, not claimed.
🛡️
Moderation & Reporting
Every listing and user can be reported in one tap. A human moderation team reviews reports against published Community Guidelines — with warnings, suspensions, and bans for violators.
🚫
Block Anyone
Block any user from their profile or a chat. Blocked users can't message you or see your contact options — no questions asked.
👥
Follow Sellers
Follow sellers you like and get notified when they post something new — build your own trusted seller network.
🎭
Multi-Role Accounts
One account, four roles — Buyer, Seller, Job Seeker, Employer. Switch any role on or off in Settings and your app adapts; nothing you posted is ever lost.
🌐
Three Languages
Fully translated into Tigrinya, Amharic, and English — every screen, every button, every notification. Switch anytime in Settings.
🌓
Light & Dark Mode
A clean light theme by default, a full dark theme when you want it — or follow your system setting.

Built So You Can Trade With Confidence

Trust isn't a feature — it's the product. Here's how AYE Market protects its community.

🪪
Human-Reviewed Verification
Identity verification with Fayda ID, Kebele Residence ID, Driver's License, Business License, or Passport — every submission reviewed by a real moderator, never auto-approved. Optional phone verification adds a second badge.
👁️
Active Moderation
A moderation team reviews reported listings and users against published Community Guidelines. Prohibited items, counterfeits, spam, and scams are removed; repeat offenders are suspended or banned.
🚨
One-Tap Reporting
Report any listing, chat, or profile in one tap with a specific reason. Every report lands in a human review queue — and false reporting is itself a violation.
🔒
Your Privacy, Protected
Chat without revealing your number. Location permission is optional. CVs are visible only to verified employers. ID documents are seen only by the verification team — never other users.
📖
Safety Center
A full guide to safe trading: recognizing scam patterns, meeting safely in public, payment safety, and what to do if something goes wrong. Read the Safety Center →
⚖️
Clear Rules, Fair Process
Published Community Guidelines define exactly what's allowed. Moderation decisions can be appealed — and enforcement is logged and accountable.

Built for Tigray, Not Adapted For It

People in Tigray were already buying, selling, and hiring every day — through word of mouth, Telegram groups, and noticeboards. What was missing was a platform actually designed for it: local languages, local places, local ways of communicating, and safety features that address real local risks.

AYE Market started deliberately narrow. Instead of a generic "all of Ethiopia" app, we built the details right for one region first: full Tigrinya and Amharic translation, a location system that knows your tabiya, contact options that match how people here actually talk, and human moderation with local context.

AYE Market is developed by AYE Tech Hub — the same Ethiopian technology studio behind the AYE TechEngine & TechPro engineering education platform and the Habesha Hearts dating app.

Awet is a mechanical, digital, and automation engineer and the founder of AYE Tech Hub — an Ethiopian technology studio building practical software and engineering education for African engineers and communities. With AYE Market, Awet leads product and engineering end-to-end: the Android app, the backend systems, the moderation tools, and this website. The goal is simple — give Tigray a marketplace that's as safe, modern, and capable as anything built anywhere, and genuinely local in a way nothing imported can be.

Common Questions

Is AYE Market really free?
Yes. Creating an account, browsing, searching, posting listings, chatting, applying to jobs, and posting job openings are all completely free, with no commission taken on anything you sell. The only paid features are optional visibility boosts — the 7-Day Promotion, Premium, and Premium+ plans.
Which languages does the app support?
Tigrinya (ትግርኛ), Amharic (አማርኛ), and English — fully translated across every screen, form, and notification. Switch anytime in Settings → Preferences → Language.
Do I need to verify my ID or phone to use the app?
No. You can browse, message, buy, sell, post jobs, and apply to jobs without any verification. Verification is optional — it adds a visible trust badge to your profile and unlocks CV access for employers. You can verify with a Fayda ID, Kebele Residence ID, Driver's License, Business License, or Passport.
How do I pay for Premium or a promotion?
Choose your plan in the app, select Manual Payment, follow the instructions shown, and upload your payment receipt. Our team reviews and activates it — usually within one business day. You'll get a notification the moment it's approved. Automatic Telebirr and Chapa payments are in development.
Does the seller see my phone number when I chat?
No. In-app chat never reveals your phone number. Call, WhatsApp, and SMS buttons only appear when a seller has chosen to share their own number — and you're never required to share yours.
What phones does AYE Market work on?
Android 8.0 (Oreo) and above. An iPhone version is on the roadmap but not yet available — the App Store badge below will light up when it ships.
How does AYE Market handle scams?
Three layers: prevention (verification badges, seller ratings, published safety guidance), detection (one-tap reporting on every listing and profile, reviewed by human moderators), and enforcement (listing removal, warnings, suspensions, and bans). Read the full guide in our Safety Center.
Can I delete my account and data?
Yes, permanently. Visit our Account Deletion page, sign in to verify it's you, and submit your request. Once approved, your login, profile, listings, photos, CV, and personal data are permanently deleted. You can also request a copy of your data first via the Privacy Rights page.
Is AYE Market only for Tigray?
Today, yes — deliberately. We're building the experience deeply for one region first: its languages, its places, its market. Expansion to more Ethiopian regions is planned once the core experience is proven.
I found a bug or have a suggestion — where do I send it?
Use the in-app Feedback & Support tool (Settings → Feedback) — it creates a support ticket our team answers directly in the app. Or email ayetechub@gmail.com.
