How to Stay Safe on Marketplace

Following these guidelines can help ensure a safer experience when buying or selling on online marketplaces.

Always meet in well-lit, public areas. Avoid secluded places or meetings at your home.

If possible, bring someone with you for extra security.

Ensure the item description matches what is being offered. Check the seller's ratings and reviews if available.

 

Avoid cash transactions. Use secure, traceable payment methods like credit cards or trusted online payment systems.

Do not share sensitive personal information such as your home address, bank details, or social security number.

If something feels off or too good to be true, it probably is. Don't hesitate to walk away from a deal that feels suspicious.

 

Look out for common scams such as overpayment scams, fake checks, or sellers asking for upfront payments before delivering the product.

 

Use the messaging system provided by the marketplace to communicate. This ensures a record of your conversations.

 

Check the condition of the item thoroughly before finalizing the deal.

Report any suspicious or fraudulent activity to the OFAyes Team immediately.
