How Messaging and Safety Works

Use marketplace messages to keep communication documented and reduce misunderstandings. Follow basic safety practices before payment or shipment.

Messaging Best Practices

  • Keep all key terms in writing: price, condition, and shipping details.
  • Ask specific questions before committing.
  • Confirm final agreement in one message before payment.

Seller Safety

  • Do not ship until payment is fully verified.
  • Use tracked shipping and keep proof of shipment.
  • Avoid off-platform pressure and suspicious urgency.

Buyer Safety

  • Review listing photos and ask for clarification if needed.
  • Prefer payment methods with buyer protection where possible.
  • Avoid deals that rely on untraceable or unusual payment requests.

When to Report

  • Misrepresentation of item condition or identity.
  • Abusive behavior, harassment, or threats.
  • Requests that clearly violate marketplace policy.
