Stay safe

Most people here are honest. These habits protect you from the few who are not.

Buying

• Meet in a busy public place in daylight. Bring a friend for expensive items.
• Test the item. For phones, check the screen, camera and charging, and that it is not locked to another account.
• Never send money or mobile money before you see the item.
• For cars, land and houses, check papers at the right office before paying.
• If the price is far below other ads, be careful.

Selling

• Never share the codes sent to your phone. No buyer needs them.
• Check that mobile money has arrived in your account, not just a screenshot, before you hand over the item.

What our checks mean

• Phone confirmed: the person showed they can use that number. It does not prove they own the item.
• Identity checked: our team reviewed an ID on the stated date. It is not a guarantee of good conduct.
• Shop visited: our agent visited the shop on that date. It is not a guarantee of products or a sale.
• Sponsored: the seller paid for placement. It is not a safety approval.
