Classifieds safety tips
Practical safety advice for buying second-hand goods, used furniture, electronics, cars, and local classified items online.
Check the listing carefully
Compare the title, photos, price, condition, and seller details. Be cautious with prices that look unusually low for the item.
Use safer payments and collection
Meet in a public place when possible, inspect items before paying, and avoid sending deposits to unknown sellers unless the platform offers protection.
Avoid common scam signals
Watch for pressure to move off-platform, vague photos, copied text, unexpected courier requests, or sellers who cannot answer basic item questions.
