Avoid Sharing Personal Information
Do not share sensitive information such as your home address, national ID, bank details, or passwords. Recommended to use a generic email & phone number to protect your main account from phishing.
Use In-App Messaging
Communicate through the app’s messaging system to avoid fraud and have a record of the conversation.
Adherence to Local Law & Regulations
Be mindful of local laws and regulations regarding the sales, rentals, products, services and warranties.
Listing Clarity
Provide accurate, honest descriptions and multiple photos. Clearly mention the conditions, defects, and returns/refund policy (if any), a detailed descriptions help avoid confusion and future disputes.
Trust Your Instincts
Request extra photos if the listing looks sparse or generic and if something feels suspicious or too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t proceed with the deal.
Inspect Items Carefully
Before making a purchase, check the condition and authenticity of the product thoroughly, ask detailed questions about the item’s legitimacy.
Meet in a safe & Public place
Always meet in a well-lit, public area like a cafe, park, or shopping mall when meeting buyers or sellers. Safer environment deters potential harm.
Bring a Friend
If possible, take someone with you when meeting with a stranger.
Verify Before You Pay
Never make advance payments without verifying the product/service in person. Avoid sending money via bank transfer or mobile wallet before meeting. Be cautious with paying any money in advance unless you fully trust the seller or service provider. Paying in advance may lead to cheating.
Avoid Dealing in Cash for Large Amounts
For high-value items, use safer payment methods and get a receipt for every transaction, prefer secure payment methods with buyer protection.
Documentation
Save screenshots of listings, messages, receipts, and payment confirmations for dispute resolution.
Don’t Accept Overpayments
Beware of scams where someone ‘accidentally’ overpays and asks for a refund.
Ratings & Feedback
Always leave your rating and feedback in the review section; it helps build guidance and trust for future buyers and improves the sellers or service providers listings reputation.
