# Buying

A listing is a course, guide, or template with a NIM price.

## Steps

1. Open the listing from Shop or Listings.
2. Read the public preview. The paid body and file stay locked.
3. Choose **Unlock with NIM**. The button asks you to confirm the amount.
4. Hub or Pay opens. Pay the seller’s NQ address. The memo is `dplace:content:{listing-id}`.
5. D place waits on the chain (it will poll). When the transaction matches from, to, amount, and memo, the listing unlocks.
6. A receipt shows the amount and a link to nimiq.watch when the hash is real.

If Hub is closed without paying, no NIM left the wallet. Use **Back** and try again when you mean to pay.

If the chain is slow, **Check the chain again**. A pending purchase is stored against that transaction hash so a retry does not double-charge you in the stall’s records.

## Who you cannot buy from

* Your own listing. You already own it.
* A listing whose seller is not an NQ address. Real NIM has to go to a Nimiq wallet.

## After you own it

* The paid text and file render in the page
* Optional download for the attached file
* The listing appears in Library
* You can mark progress and leave a rating (1–5) plus a short review

Delisting by the seller takes the goods off Shop and Listings. Your entitlement stays. Library still opens it.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.deplace.space/buying.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
