Inspect before you pay
Check the actual item, condition and accessories. Test what matters to you. For cars and property, arrange a viewing and seek independent professional help where needed.
Make clear arrangements
Confirm the currency, total price, collection point and any delivery costs in your conversation. Choose a sensible meeting place and take someone along when appropriate.
Protect your information
Never share account passwords, verification codes or unrelated identity documents. Confirm incoming payments in your own account rather than relying on a screenshot.
Pause if something feels wrong
Pressure to pay immediately, changing contact details and refusal to allow an inspection are reasons to stop and ask more questions.
Know what review means
We review listings for quality and obvious issues. This is not a guarantee of ownership, condition, availability or a safe transaction. Report misleading listings using the report button.
