About lavenon.com

lavenon.com is a marketplace where people in Bangladesh find each other directly, with no agency in between. There are 13 posting boards — Find Job (Jobs and Hire), Services, Labour, Rooms & House Rent, Land & Property, Buy & Sell, Construction, Advertising, Find People, Blood, Lost & Found and Gold — and beside them the Food, Hotels, Services and Shops directories, Charity and private Cost management. The boards all work the same way: browsing and searching are free, publishing a listing costs tokens, and you only pay to see somebody's contact details when you have decided you want them. The “How every board works” guide above and the “Board by board” questions below explain each one.

Type it in the search box at the top: it searches every board and directory at once, closest first. Or tap Nix and ask in your own words. If it isn't there yet, set a Magnet and you will be told the moment it appears.

Everything is sorted by distance from your map pin, or from the centre of your area if you haven't dropped one. When there is little close by, the list widens to your district, then your division, then the whole country. Drop a pin on your profile and set the distance filter to keep it tight.

Some boards have more than one side, and the tabs at the top choose which side you are looking at. Find Job switches between Jobs and Hire. Buy & Sell splits into things for sale and things wanted. Construction splits into materials and labour. Rooms & House Rent splits into to let and wanted, Land & Property into for sale and wanted, and Blood into need and donate. The side is only a filter — switching it keeps your area, your category and the words you typed.

It asks who the place is for: anyone, men, women or a family. Choose one in the filters and you see the listings written for that group, plus the ones open to anyone and the older ones from before this field existed. The match is generous on purpose — somebody looking for a women-only mess wants every real option, not only the adverts that spelled the rule out. Typing “female mess” into the search box brings back the same listings without touching the filter.

Each word is searched on its own, and words may match in different places — the title, the product name, the brand, the skills, the description, the category, a ticket's route, or the poster's name, area or city. So “12mm rod” finds a listing titled “Rod & steel” whose product name is “12mm BSRM”. One search covers every board at once, together with the worker directory, and the number beside each board tells you where the rest of the results are waiting.

Yes. Under “Who can see this post” choose everyone, or a distance from 5 to 200 km. It is measured from your map pin, or from the centre of your area if you did not drop one, and people farther away do not see the posting at all. The reach cannot be changed after publishing.

Nix is the penguin in the bottom-right corner of every page. Sign in, tap him and write what you want in English, বাংলা or Banglish — how something works, something to find near you, or a post to prepare. He answers in the same chat, with cards you can tap to open, call, book or send.

Anything about the site (“how do I unlock a phone number?”), anything near you (“a plumber within 5 km”, “who sells biryani near me”, “a turf free tomorrow evening”), and things to prepare: a Magnet, a Buy & Sell posting, a playground booking, a message to a restaurant, hotel or playground owner, or a report. The more you say in one message — what, where, how much, when — the better the answer.

Chatting is free. A search Nix runs for you is counted like one you type yourself (2 tokens for every 20 searches). A draft — a Magnet, a posting, a booking — costs exactly what it costs on its own page, the card shows the price, and nothing is charged until you tap it.

Only you, on your own device. The chat is stored in your browser or the app, not on our server, and each message deletes itself after 24 hours; Clear chat removes it at once. To answer, Nix is given your recent messages, your name, area and skills — never your phone number, email or exact location.

Most answers take a few seconds; a search can take longer, and the lines under his name show what he is doing. When very many people ask at once he may say he is busy — send the message again in a minute. Each member can send up to 10 messages a minute and 200 a day. He needs a signed-in account and an internet connection.

Nix reads the live site, but he can still misunderstand. Open the result card to see the real posting before you pay or travel, and never send money just because Nix said so — the prices and rules on the page itself are the ones that count. If he keeps getting something wrong, tell us through Contact.

Yes, and the site takes no commission on any deal. Workers are hired through Find Job and Labour, and Open for work keeps you listed. Sellers sell on Buy & Sell, Construction, Gold and Land & Property. Landlords and hotels fill rooms. Carriers are paid to put posters on rickshaws, shop fronts and walls. Professionals and organisations are found in the Services directory. Providers answer Requests with an offer. Food sellers are found by hungry people nearby. Every payment happens directly between you and the other person.

Everything goes live the moment you publish — there is no approval queue for a posting. Lists are sorted nearest first, so the people closest to you see it before anybody else. People whose skills match are told at once, Magnets ring within moments, blood donors of the right group are alerted instantly, and unlocking a contact puts you on the phone straight away. How fast somebody answers depends on how many people are near you, but many jobs, rooms and sales are arranged the same day.

Write a clear title and a full description — search matches every word against them. Set your exact area and tick the extra areas you will travel to. Add pictures. Fill in your skills so matching jobs reach you first. Verify your phone and ID for the badges strangers look for, and finish deals properly so your ratings grow. There is no paid placement: being near, a clear posting and a good reputation are what move you up.

Hire is the side of the Find Job page for people offering their own skill — an electrician, a tutor, a designer, a driver, a cook. Switch Find Job to Hire, post what you do, the areas you are willing to work in and your rate, and people who need that skill find you, closest first. You can also switch on “Open for work” so you stay listed on Hire without writing a posting.

They are the two ends of the same arrangement, and both live on one Find Job page with a switch at the top. On Hire the poster is offering to work; on Jobs the poster needs somebody to work for them — a tuition, an office assistant, a delivery run, an assignment. If you need someone, post on Jobs. If you are the someone, post on Hire.

The Services board is for arranged or organised work rather than one person's trade: wholesale and bulk supply, event and organisation management, house maids and domestic help, wedding decoration, market help, tourist guides and translators. The same Services page also has the Services directory — standing profiles of doctors, engineers, lawyers and organisations — and Requests, where people say what they need and providers answer.

No. Labour is for physical work that needs no trade — house work, carrying heavy things and general labour. The form never asks for skills: you say what the work is, when and where it is, and what it pays.

Mess seats, single rooms and sublets, houses and flats, and restaurant or shop space — each to let or wanted, saying who it is for (anyone, men, women or a family) and when it is free. Add up to 4 pictures so people can see the place before they ask about it. Land and flats to buy go on Land & Property, and residential hotels have their own Hotels tab.

Renting and owning are two boards. Rooms & House Rent is for places to live or work in for a while — mess seats, rooms, flats, shop space — to let or wanted, with who it is for and when it is free. Land & Property is for buying and selling: plots, flats, buildings, commercial space and farm land, for sale or wanted.

Food, vegetables, electronics and appliances, gadgets and mobiles, cycles and spare parts, furniture, clothing, books and household items — each either for sale or wanted, with a product name, brand, condition and quantity. Bus, train, launch and plane tickets are allowed at their printed face value only, and a ticket can be found by any stop along its route, not only its two ends.

It has two sides. Materials covers rod and steel, cement, bricks, stone and chips, sand, tiles, paint, timber, sanitary items and electric fittings, each with a brand, quantity and unit. Labour covers the masons, helpers and other workers who build with them. Switch between the two with the tabs at the top of the board.

Putting posters where people see them. An advertiser posts that they have a poster and a budget; a carrier posts that they have a rickshaw, bus, truck, car, shop shutter or wall to carry one. Each listing names the surfaces, how long it runs and what it pays, and can be aimed at men, women or both.

Putting a group together: a tour or trip, a travel companion, a study group, a research team, a meetup or party, guests for a ceremony, or an investment group. The organiser posts what the group is for and where, people ask to join, and the group talks in its own group chat.

Choose Need when a patient needs blood: the group, how many bags, the hospital, the time window it is needed in, and the areas to reach — all inside one division. Donors of that group who have switched on the donor option for those areas are told at once, each only once per request. Choose Donate, or switch on the donor option in your profile, to be told about requests near you — including ones already open when you switch it on. Offering to donate is free. The Banks tab lists verified blood banks with their current stock of each group and an emergency number.

Post a notice for something you lost, or something you picked up and want to hand back — money and wallets, ID cards, papers, bags, boxes, bikes and cycles. Saying you found something is free, pictures included. You can offer a reward, and the finder and the owner talk in the inbox to arrange the handover.

Post whether you are selling or buying, how many grams, the purity and your price. Talk in the inbox, meet face to face, and confirm the deal when it is done. Nothing is escrowed, weighed or verified by the site — the risk of a gold trade is entirely yours.

A standing search over every board and directory at once. Give it a title, a note, your highest price, a place and how many kilometres to reach, and the moment a matching posting goes up — or a food seller, professional or hotel appears nearby — you are told, with a percentage showing how well it fits. It costs 1 tokens a day while it runs and you can stop it at any time. By default it is also shown to providers as a Request they can answer with an offer.

Open Food and type a dish or a seller's name. Results are sorted by distance and show the matching menu lines with their prices; the phone number is on the listing and messaging the seller is free — nothing is behind a paywall. To sell, register a restaurant, hotel, cart or van and type your menu; menu lines cost nothing. A restaurant or hotel pays 1000 tokens a month. A cart or van buys 5 days at a time and simply runs out, with no automatic charge. A van can share its live position on a timer you choose, at 2 tokens a fix, so customers see where it is now.

Residential hotels and guest houses are on the Hotels tab of Rooms & House Rent. Every room has its own number, price, pictures and state — available, or booked until a date — and a booking that has run out reads as available again by itself. Nothing is booked or paid through this site: you call or message the desk (messaging is free) and arrange it with them. A hotel pays 2000 tokens to join, which covers the first month, then 1000 a month, and its desk staff get a username and password to update rooms without the owner's account.

A standing list of professionals — doctors, engineers, lawyers, journalists — and organisations such as clinics, law firms and IT companies, each with a photo, category, price, place and ratings. It is not a posting that expires: a person pays 500 tokens a month and an organisation 1000. Any member can rate a profile once and change that rating later. Organisations also take service requests: you describe what you need and leave a number, and the organisation accepts, declines or marks it done.

Every Magnet is shown to providers unless its owner switches that off, which turns it into a Request under Services › Requests: what somebody wants, their budget and roughly where. Providers browse the requests near them and answer each one once with a price and a message; that opens an ordinary chat with the asker. Only the asker's first name, picture, ID badge and rating are shown — never their number or exact location.

For people asking for help, yes — asking, sending a case to organisations and chatting with them cost nothing. Organisations register with a trade licence and are checked by an administrator within 72 hours; once verified they can see a case's phone number and exact place and answer it. Each organisation publishes a fund ledger of every deposit and every spend, which can be added to but never edited. A registered organisation's listing is 1000 tokens a month.

No. A book is never published, searched or shown to anybody, and even the administrators' tools see only how many rows it holds, never a single amount. Each book has its own username and password on top of your sign-in. A shop or mess book can be opened by a helper who knows that username and password — that is what it is for — but they cannot rename, publish or delete it. A shop's buying prices and profit sit behind a separate PIN. A book is 1000 tokens a month; if it goes unpaid it becomes read-only, never deleted.

Open your shop book and publish its storefront. Customers then see the shop's name, place, map pin and the products with how many are in stock — never your sales, your buying prices or your profit. You can type products here, or link your own till's product list, which is read when somebody searches. Shops are searched nearest the customer first, and a Magnet with matching words shows your shop in its results.

It shows what people near you search for in the Magnet and the top search box: the top products, the busiest areas and how it changes day by day. Each person counts once per product, however often they search. Centre it on yourself or on one of your shops, food listings, vans, professional profiles or hotels. A pass is 20 tokens for 2 hours. Only totals are shown — never who searched.

Once you open a cost book, hotel desk, charity, blood bank or organisation with its password, this device remembers it with a key from the server — the password itself is not kept. Press Lock to forget it on this device. Signing out forgets all of them, and changing the password stops every remembered key from working.

Open Games, choose Chess or Ludo and press Create. You get a 6-digit Game ID — copy it and send it to your friends, who press Join and paste it. When everybody is seated the host starts the game. Anybody else with the code can watch once it has started. Games are free unless the administrators set a seat price, and a seat in a game that never starts is refunded. Sudoku needs no code: it plays on your own device.

A notepad behind its own username and password, separate from your account — you can even use it signed out. It stays signed in on that device until you press Lock, syncs to your other devices, and is deleted when nobody opens it for the number of days the administrators set. Anybody with the username and password can read it, and the administrators can read every note, so never keep bank or bKash passwords in it.

No. Browsing, searching, reading the full description, opening every picture at full size, and reading anybody's ratings and public profile are free, and most of it works without an account. Pictures are deliberately outside the paywall: the 2 tokens buy a poster's contact details, not permission to see what they are offering. A board where nothing can be seen before paying is a board nobody would browse.

A new account is granted 100 tokens once, at the moment it is first created. Signing out and back in does not grant it again, and neither does signing in from another phone, browser or sign-in method — the grant is written the one time the account is created and never repeated. Raising the bonus later does not top up accounts that already exist either. Your balance is held on the server and cannot be edited from your side, so what it shows is what you really have.

10 tokens to publish, plus 2 tokens for each day you want it visible, plus 1 token for each picture you attach. A 7-day listing with 2 pictures is therefore 10 + (2 × 7) + (1 × 2). You may choose from 1 to 60 days and up to 4 pictures. The form shows the exact total before you publish, and the same total is worked out again on the server, so the quote and the charge can never disagree.

Open the Purchase page and pick an amount — 50, 150 or 500 tokens, at the rate shown there (৳1 buys 10 tokens). Payment is by bKash: send exactly that amount with Send Money to the number on that page, then enter your number, the amount and the TrxID from your bKash confirmation. Your balance is credited once that payment has been confirmed against the money actually received, which is usually within a minute or two. There is no free top-up and no card is asked for. Tokens are credit inside this site; the only way back to money is a withdrawal request, explained below.

Organisations, professional profiles, blood banks, food sellers, hotels and cost books renew each month from your balance, and you are warned three days before. If the balance is short, the listing is frozen, not deleted — hidden from the public (a cost book stays readable to you) until you pay, and paying brings everything back exactly as it was. Paying early adds to the current month rather than replacing it.

Searches from the Magnet, the top search box, a board's search box and Nix are counted per account: 2 tokens buys a block of 20, and the next block is charged only when that one is used up. Repeating the same search and browsing a board without typing are free, and the administrators can change the price or switch the meter off.

Yes, while the administrators have withdrawals open. On the Purchase page, under Withdraw, enter your bKash number and how many tokens — at least 500. The payout is priced at that day's token rate. An administrator sends the money by hand within the working days shown there, and only then do the tokens leave your balance; you can cancel while it is waiting.

The listing opens with the poster's phone number, email and social link shown, and 2 tokens leave your balance. You are charged once for that listing, not once per visit — open it again tomorrow, next week, or from a different device, and it costs nothing. Your own listings are always free to open, and so is one you have already unlocked.

Because chats are kept per person, not per listing. The 1 token is charged only when a conversation with somebody new is created. If you have talked to that person before — about anything, on any board — the new listing is simply added to your existing chat as another subject and nothing is charged. So the cost is one token for each person you ever talk to, however many listings you discuss with them.

Yes. Open your profile, press Send beside your balance, and enter their email and a whole number of tokens from 1 to 1000. They must already have an account with that email. It is a move, not a top-up: your balance falls by exactly what theirs rises by, nothing new is created, and it cannot be undone. You cannot send to yourself, and transfers keep working even when charging is switched off — the tokens you hold stay yours.

Inside a chat, open the Postings panel and confirm the listing you agreed on. Your side is marked at once and the other person is told, because the listing stays on the board until they confirm too. When both of you have, the listing leaves the board and moves to the Done page — nobody else will contact you about something already settled, and the completed work stays on record. The chat with every message in it stays as the record of what was agreed. Confirming is also what unlocks the rating: each of you may then leave the other one permanent rating.

To the Done page. When both sides confirm a posting in the inbox it leaves the boards, so nobody asks about it again, but it is not deleted — it is listed as completed work, and the home page counts it beside the work still waiting to be done. Only an administrator can edit or remove completed work.

It disappears from your inbox, but it is not erased: the conversation is kept on the server, and administrators can still read it when they investigate a report. The other person keeps their copy. If either of you writes again, the chat comes back to your inbox with only the new messages in it.

If you write to somebody who has not saved you as a contact, and the chat is not about one of their postings, it arrives as a request. You can send up to 5 messages, but they are held until the other person presses Confirm — then they are delivered and you can talk and call as normal. A chat about a posting is never a request: the posting is its own invitation.

Write your skills on your profile, separated by commas. Every new listing on every board is then checked against them: a skill counts as a match when it appears whole, or when all of its words appear, in the title, the product name, the brand, the category, the required skills or the description. A match rings your bell once for that listing and never twice. Your profile also shows how many live listings match each skill and on which board — press one and the board opens already filtered to it.

A new profile picture replaces the one before it: the new file is stored and the old one is deleted in the same moment, so there is only ever one picture per account. Remove it and your Google or Facebook picture shows again — that one is never touched. Your name works the same way. Once you have set it here, signing in again never overwrites it with the name your Google account carries, and it cannot be saved empty, because your name is the label on every listing, chat and rating of yours.

It depends on the site's settings. When the administrators switch the ID check on, posting and messaging wait until one of your documents is approved; when it is off, the badge is optional. Any one of three proves who you are: a national ID card, a birth registration certificate (for somebody with no NID) or a student ID card. A person compares the photographs with a selfie, and the answer is promised within 72 hours — the deadline is stamped when you send it and counted down on your profile. The badge on your public profile is what a stranger looks for before meeting you.

Change the number in your profile editor and the request is withdrawn on the spot: the waiting row leaves the review queue and the photographs you uploaded are deleted with it. Nothing half-checked is left behind, and nobody approves a number you have stopped claiming. Any earlier verdict is cleared at the same time, so you can simply submit again with the right number. The card photographs never appear on your public profile, and staff who only have directory access never see them — the profile keeps the result, not the pictures.

A block is aimed at you, is set by an administrator, and lasts until an administrator lifts it. A pause is aimed at a place — an area, a district or a whole division, usually for local conditions or a holiday — and it lifts itself on the date it was set for. Both leave reading alone: you can still sign in, browse every board, open your chats and read whatever you already unlocked. What stops is writing — posting, unlocking, starting chats, sending messages, rating, buying and transferring. A banner at the top of the page tells you which one you are under, the reason, and when it ends.

You get 2 tokens back — the day rate your listing was published at, not today's — for every day of visibility it never used, credited immediately. The 10-token publishing fee and the 1 token per picture are not refunded: a day that never happened can be given back, a stored file cannot. Deleting a live listing pays exactly the same as cancelling it, so Delete never costs you more than Cancel. If a moderator takes a listing down, those same unused days come back and you are told the reason.

Reselling a bus, train, launch or plane ticket above its printed price is illegal in Bangladesh, so every ticket listing must state the face value printed on the ticket. The server compares the asking price with it as the listing is saved — the check is not done in the app, so it cannot be edited around. Ask for more and the listing goes up publicly marked as above face value, with the reason shown on the card and in the detail view for every buyer to read.

Always public: your name, member ID, bio, skills and location, because that is what makes you findable. Always private: your phone number and email — nobody sees them, not even somebody who unlocks your posting, and nobody can search for you by them. Yours to choose: your social links, whether the ID badge shows and when you were last active. Never public, whatever you set: your token balance, your IP address, your device details and your full ID number — even a public ID shows only its last four digits. Unlocking a listing for 2 tokens shows its social link; people reach you by message.

Press Delete and it is scheduled for 30 days later and hidden straight away. Within those 30 days you can keep it with one press and nothing is lost. After that it is gone for good. Only an administrator can delete something immediately.
