Safety Tips

Meet Safely

Meet in a public, well-lit place when possible. Tell someone where you are going and avoid carrying large amounts of cash.

Inspect Before Payment

Check the item, serial number, documents, ownership details, and condition before you pay. For vehicles and property, verify documents through the relevant authority.

Avoid Advance Payment Pressure

Be careful if someone demands urgent deposits, gift cards, wire transfers, or payment before you have verified the listing and seller.

Report Suspicious Ads

Use the report option on listing pages if an ad appears misleading, unsafe, duplicated, fake, or illegal.
