Safety tips for buyers

Simple steps to stay safe when browsing, messaging, and meeting sellers.

Person shopping online with a credit card

Start with the listing details

Read the full description, check the photos, and compare the price to similar ads. If anything looks too good to be true, slow down and ask questions.

Message inside Demo

Keep early messages inside your Demo inbox. This keeps your email private and makes it easier to report issues.

Meet in a public place

Choose a well lit, public location. Bring a friend if possible, and let someone know where you are going.

Pay in a safe way

Use payment methods you trust. Avoid paying in full before you see the item. If a seller pushes for urgency, take a step back.

Report anything suspicious

Use the report link on the listing or in messages. Our team reviews reports quickly to keep the marketplace clean.
