Frequently asked questions
Should I pay by bank transfer for a Marketplace item?
Avoid bank transfer if you have not inspected the item and verified the seller. Prefer collection, protected payment, or another route where you can challenge a problem.
Is courier delivery a red flag?
Courier delivery is not always bad, but it becomes risky when the seller refuses collection, rushes payment, uses a new profile, or offers an unusually low price.
What should I ask the seller?
Ask for proof of ownership, a fresh photo with today’s date, collection options, return terms, and whether you can pay after inspection.
What are the biggest warning signs?
Pressure to pay now, refusal to meet, copied photos, price too good to be true, new profile, and payment methods with no protection.
