Safe online buying guide

Online shopping offers convenience and great deals, but it's important to stay safe. Here's your comprehensive guide to buying safely online and protecting yourself from scams.

1. Verify Seller Credentials

Always check the seller's profile, ratings, and reviews before making a purchase. Look for verified sellers and read through customer feedback to understand their reputation.

2. Use Secure Payment Methods

Never send money through unsecured channels. Use platform-approved payment methods that offer buyer protection and dispute resolution.

3. Check Product Authenticity

Request detailed photos, serial numbers, and original receipts for high-value items. Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true.

4. Meet in Safe Locations

For local transactions, meet in public places during daylight hours. Bring a friend and inform someone about your meeting location and time.

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Seller asks for payment outside the platform
  • Pressure to complete transaction quickly
  • Vague or incomplete product descriptions
  • Unwillingness to provide additional photos or information
  • Poor communication or unprofessional behavior

5. Document Everything

Keep records of all communications, payment receipts, and transaction details. This documentation is crucial if you need to file a dispute or complaint.

6. Trust Your Instincts

If something feels off about a transaction, trust your gut. It's better to walk away from a deal than to risk your money and safety.
