Safety Tips and Useful Information
In our commitment to maintaining a secure online environment, we diligently filter our ads. However, scams may occasionally slip through. It is the shared responsibility of both buyers and sellers to avoid falling victim to scams by adhering to essential safety tips. Please exercise caution and do not blindly trust everything you read or see. It’s crucial to understand that our site is never directly involved in transactions, payments, shipping, or any financial dealings. We do not provide escrow services, “buyer protection,” or “seller certification.”

Safety Tips:
⦁ Act Locally and Use Cash:
⦁ Avoid scams by transacting locally and using cash for payments.
⦁ Watch for Poorly Written English:
⦁ Be cautious of poorly written English in ads and replies, as many scams originate from overseas.
⦁ Arrange Safe Meeting Places:
⦁ Always arrange to meet in a safe, public place when conducting transactions.
⦁ Avoid Anonymous Payment Services:
⦁ Never use payment services like Western Union or MoneyGram that offer anonymity and cannot be traced.
⦁ If It Sounds Too Good to Be True, It Probably Is:
⦁ Exercise scepticism when encountering offers that seem exceptionally favourable – scams often sound too good to be true.
⦁ Verify Seller Information:
⦁ Fraudulent listings may provide an address different from the one on the item detail page. Be wary if the seller asks for payment before confirming your location.
⦁ Be Cautious of Suspiciously Low Prices:
⦁ Fraudsters often list high-demand items at unrealistically low prices to lure unsuspecting buyers.
Report Suspicious Ads:
⦁ If you come across ads that appear or are suspicious, please report them to us promptly.
