Safety tips

For buyers

  • Buy from verified sellers only (look for the yellow verified badge) — they've been through NIDA and business licence review.
  • Meet in a public place with people around, especially for higher-value items. A seller's real shop location is a good choice.
  • Inspect the item before paying — all payment today is cash on delivery or pay on pickup, so there's never a reason to pay upfront.
  • Read other buyers' reviews of a shop before ordering.
  • If something looks too good to be true — an unusually low price, a seller pushing you to pay quickly — report the listing.
  • Never send payment before receiving the item through channels outside the app.

For sellers

  • Use real photos of your actual products, not stock images — buyers trust shops with genuine photos more.
  • Confirm payment before handing over goods, especially for delivery orders.
  • Keep your contact details accurate so buyers can reach you easily.
  • Report any suspicious behaviour using the report button on a message or user profile.

If something feels wrong, use the "Report" button on a product, shop, or message — our team reviews every report.
