Inspect Before Paying
Report Suspicious Activity
Check the seller's profile, ratings, reviews, and verification status. Look for consistent positive feedback from previous buyers.
Always examine items in person before paying. Test electronics, check for damage, and verify that all accessories are included.
Choose well-lit public places like shopping centers, police stations, or busy coffee shops. Avoid isolated areas and never invite strangers to your home.
Ensure the item matches the listing description and photos. If something seems off, don't hesitate to walk away from the transaction.
Never share your home address, financial details, or personal documents. Use the platform's messaging system for all communications.
Prefer cash for local transactions. Be cautious of overpayments, fake payment confirmations, or requests to use unfamiliar payment methods.
Take clear photos showing the item's condition. This helps prevent disputes and protects you if a buyer claims the item was different.
If a buyer seems suspicious or pressures you, it's okay to decline. Legitimate buyers will understand reasonable safety precautions.
