Safety Tips

Secure Transactions for a Worry-Free Experience

Regrettably, we can't oversee every step of your interaction with sellers, but we can offer advice to help safeguard you from undesirable situations.

General Safety Guidelines

Check Feedback ⭐ Reviewing feedback helps ensure reliability. Previous buyers often leave reviews to inform others about their experiences with specific sellers. Take a moment to peruse reviews before finalizing a deal. Your input can be invaluable to fellow buyers. Remember to check the "Feedback" section whenever you engage with a seller or service provider.

Avoid Prepayments 💸 ⛔ Opt to meet sellers face-to-face in a public setting or request payment upon delivery. Inspect the item's quality to ensure it meets your expectations before completing the transaction.

Confirm the Packed Item 📦 ✅ Only make payment after inspecting the item and confirming it matches your expectations. Prevent scammers from substituting the item with another one.

Safeguard Financial Information 💳 ✋ Exercise caution to avoid scams or frauds, such as fake payment services, fee requests, or solicitations to use money transfer services. Never disclose your PIN codes or passwords to anyone.

Use Common Sense 👀 Exercise caution with deals that seem too good to be true, such as unrealistically low prices or promises of quick money.
