Everything you need to know about renting, listing, and staying safe on Weshare.
Weshare is a peer-to-peer rental marketplace based in Bangkok, Thailand. It connects people who have items they're not using every day with people who need them temporarily.
Think of it as Airbnb, but for things instead of places. Cameras, bikes, tools, party equipment, camping gear — you name it.
Because not everything needs to be owned. That power drill you'll use twice a year? The camping tent for that one trip? The camera lens for a weekend shoot?
Renting saves money, reduces waste, and gives you access to things you'd never buy. Owners earn from items sitting idle. Everyone wins.
Weshare earns from optional premium services:
Basic listing and booking is free. We don't take a commission from your rental payment.
Yes! Creating an account, listing items, browsing, and requesting to book are all free. You only pay if you choose premium features like Priority Booking, Boost, Featured, or PRO.
We're starting in Bangkok. If things go well (and we think they will), we'll expand to other Thai cities and Southeast Asia. Stay tuned!
Physical items you own that can be safely used and returned. Think:
If it's a physical item you can hand over and get back — it probably belongs on Weshare.
No. Pets are living beings, not rental items. If you need pet-sitting, try a dedicated pet care service. We love animals — that's exactly why they're not on here.
No. Items must be returnable in the same condition. You can't return an eaten pizza. Consumables, single-use items, and perishables are not allowed on Weshare.
No — that's what Airbnb is for! Weshare is for movable items, not real estate. We're the Airbnb for things, not places.
Yes, but both parties must ensure:
The renter is responsible for any traffic violations during the rental period. We recommend taking photos of the odometer and any existing damage before handoff.
Absolutely not. Weapons, drugs, counterfeit goods, stolen property, or anything illegal under Thai law is strictly prohibited. Your account will be permanently banned and reported to authorities.
No. Weshare is for physical items only, not services. Try Fiverr or local job boards for that.
No. You must be the legal owner of any item you list. Listing stolen or borrowed items is fraud and grounds for permanent ban + legal action.
...no. But we admire the entrepreneurial spirit.
No. For hygiene and safety reasons, intimate personal items are not allowed. Use common sense.
You must accurately describe the item's condition. If something is partially broken but still usable (e.g. a camera with a scratched lens), disclose it clearly in the description and photos. Misleading listings will get reported and affect your trust badge.
No minimum or maximum. Rent out a ฿50 book or a ฿50,000 camera. Just set your price fairly — the market will tell you if it's right.
1. Browse and find what you need
2. Select your dates on the calendar
3. Click "Request to Book" (free) or "Priority Booking" (10% fee)
4. The owner reviews and approves or declines
5. Chat with the owner to coordinate pickup
6. Pick up, enjoy, return!
Priority Booking guarantees your dates instantly. When you book with Priority:
It's perfect when you really need those specific dates and don't want to risk losing them.
Weshare uses Google Sign-In, so there's no separate password to forget. Just sign in with the same Google account you used to register. If you've lost access to your Google account, visit Google Account Recovery.
Always check the item during pickup and take photos (our app has a photo upload feature for this). If something is wrong:
Your pickup photos serve as evidence of the item's condition at the start.
This is why pickup and return photos exist. Both parties upload photos at pickup and return. These photos are timestamped and stored.
If there's a dispute, Weshare reviews the photo evidence, chat history, and both parties' accounts. We can provide this documentation for a police report if needed.
Yes. You can cancel from your My Bookings page. However:
The rental payment is between you and the owner — Weshare doesn't process rental payments. Common methods:
Priority Booking fees and premium services are paid via Stripe (credit/debit card).
If the owner is unresponsive or doesn't show up for the agreed pickup, report the issue on Weshare. For Priority Bookings, the owner's non-response results in automatic cancellation and no charge to you.
Yes. Phone verification is required before you can book items. This protects both renters and owners by ensuring every user has a verified phone number. Thai phone numbers (+66) get a special "Thai Phone Verified" badge.
It depends on the owner. Each listing shows the handoff method:
If receiving via delivery, we strongly recommend recording an unboxing video on your phone. Keep it for 30 days in case of disputes. Also upload "received condition" photos in the app.
This is why we recommend meeting in person whenever possible. If you receive via delivery:
We will review and take action on the owner's account. If needed, we can provide records for a police report.
No. Sub-renting without the owner's explicit permission violates our Terms of Service. If caught, your account may be suspended. The item was entrusted to you, not for you to profit from.
Weshare is a marketplace — we connect renters and owners but don't own the items. You use rented items at your own risk.
We strongly recommend owners disclose any safety concerns in their listing description.
Stripe is currently used for Weshare's own services (Priority Booking, Boost, Featured, PRO) — not for rental payments between you and the owner.
The rental fee is paid directly to the owner. Most owners accept PromptPay (easy bank transfer via QR), bank transfer, or cash. Just ask the owner in chat which methods they accept before confirming pickup.
We're exploring full Stripe rental payments in the future so everything can be done by card. Stay tuned!
1. Go to the Owner Dashboard
2. Click "List Item"
3. Add photos (up to 5), title, description, pricing, and location
4. Set a deposit amount and item value
5. Publish — your item is now live on the marketplace!
Boost (฿29/24h) — Your listing appears at the top of browse results with a pink "Boosted" badge. Great for quick visibility.
Featured (฿99/7 days) — Your listing gets a gold "Featured" badge and priority placement for a full week. Best for sustained exposure.
Both are optional. Your listing is visible to everyone without them.
Theft is a criminal offense. If this happens:
Tips to prevent theft: collect a deposit, verify the renter's identity, use an AirTag tracker (you can indicate this in your listing), and prefer renters with higher trust badges.
This is what deposits are for. Document the damage with photos and contact the renter through Weshare chat. If the renter refuses to pay for damages:
Always take detailed photos before and after each rental.
You receive payment directly from the renter. Weshare doesn't process rental payments — you and the renter agree on payment method (cash, PromptPay, bank transfer). This keeps things simple and fee-free for you.
Typically 20-50% of the item's value. For example:
You can charge 100% of the item value as deposit, but it may discourage renters. Most successful owners find 30-50% hits the sweet spot.
This is rare but serious. To protect yourself:
If you suspect part swapping, report through Weshare with photo evidence. We'll review and take action on the renter's account.
We strongly recommend meeting in person, especially as a new owner. Benefits:
If you do offer delivery:
New owners should build trust with in-person meetups first. Consider enabling delivery after you're "Verified" or "Trusted."
This is why we recommend meeting in person. If you ship via delivery:
If a renter falsely claims non-receipt, provide your packing video and tracking number to Weshare. We'll review and take action.
No. Holding someone's passport is illegal in Thailand.
You can ask to see their ID for verification, and you may photograph it with their permission. But you cannot hold the physical document. Weshare's phone verification and trust badge system already help verify renters.
You receive payment directly from the renter.
This is a scam.
You have two options:
Every user starts as New and earns higher badges through successful rentals:
Priority Booking has no booking limit — it's unlimited regardless of trust level.
Never give anyone your passport. Holding someone's passport is illegal under Thai law. If an owner insists on holding your ID or passport as deposit, decline the rental and report them on Weshare.
You may show your ID for verification purposes, but they cannot keep it.
Visit the user's profile and click "Report User." Select a reason and add details. We review all reports within 24 hours. Serious violations (theft, fraud, harassment) result in immediate account suspension.
Your phone number is how we verify you're a real person, not a bot or fake account. It protects both renters and owners by ensuring accountability.
We never share your phone number with other users — they only see whether you're verified and whether it's a Thai number.
Without phone verification, you cannot book items or list them. This keeps the community safe.
In Thailand, all SIM cards are registered with a national ID or passport. This means every phone number is traceable to a real person.
If someone commits theft, fraud, or other crimes through Weshare, their verified phone number can be used by police to identify them. This is a powerful deterrent — and one of the reasons we require phone verification.
We will only share user data with law enforcement when presented with a valid legal request (police report, court order). See our Privacy Policy for details.
We follow Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA):
For personal items like helmets, camping gear, or fashion accessories — yes, hygiene matters.
If an item arrives in unsanitary condition, report the issue and mention it in your review.
If something goes wrong (theft, damage, fraud):
Weshare can provide booking records and chat history to support your report. Email us at hello@weshare.rent with your case number.
Both parties should communicate via Weshare chat. Rentals can be cancelled by either party with "Personal emergency" as the reason. In extraordinary circumstances, Weshare may waive cancellation penalties on a case-by-case basis.
For Weshare services (Boost, Featured, PRO, Priority Booking):
For rental payments between renter and owner: cash, PromptPay, bank transfer — agreed directly between both parties.
Yes. For every payment made through Stripe, you'll receive an email receipt with:
Receipts are sent automatically to your registered email.
Yes. All prices on Weshare include 7% VAT. For example, a ฿29 Boost includes ฿1.90 VAT. This is shown on your receipt.
Priority Booking: If the owner declines or doesn't respond in 24 hours, you are not charged (the card hold is released automatically).
Boost/Featured/PRO: These are non-refundable once activated. If you experience a technical issue, contact hello@weshare.rent.
No, Weshare does not currently provide insurance. For high-value items, we recommend owners consider personal property insurance. For vehicle rentals, standard motor insurance applies.
We may offer optional rental protection in the future.
A single bad review won't destroy your profile. Your trust badge is based on your overall average rating across all rentals. Focus on completing more rentals with good service and your average will improve.
If you believe a review is unfair or fraudulent, contact hello@weshare.rent.
Yes — you have 48 hours after submitting a review to edit it. After that, reviews are permanent. This gives you time to reconsider while preventing manipulation.
