1. Safe Meet Recommendations
Always meet the other party in a busy, well-lit, public location. Never invite unfamiliar buyers to private residences or visit secluded areas for handovers.
Commercial Malls & Markets
Metro & Bus Stations
Bank Branches / ATMs
2. Never Pay Advance via JazzCash or EasyPaisa
The single most common scam in Pakistani online marketplaces is asking for advance token money, delivery charges, or reservation fees before meeting.
⚠️ Rule of Thumb: If a seller demands advance payment for fuel, delivery, or token before you have physically inspected the item, cancel the deal immediately.
3. Deal with Verified Sellers
Look for the Verified Seller Badge (✓). Verified members have passed multi-factor SMS / WhatsApp OTP authentication and maintain active trust history in our community.
