No money in advance! A request for payment in advance is generally considered unsafe for online Classified Ads transactions.
Avoid transferring money in advance! This applies to both cash transfer payments and bank transfers.
Paperwork sent by electronic means can be easily forged and does not offer any guarantee about the identity of the person or the item.
As a seller, take precautions against fraud. Sellers are often paid by cheque for a vehicle transaction, which turns out to not have sufficient funds. We strongly advise you not to accept cheques as a means of payment!
PAYMENT TIPS
Make sure you get the full payment for the services or goods you advertise on our Sellfast before closing the deal.
The location you plan to meet the buyer must be a safe place.
Before accepting bank-draft, check with the issuing bank to ensure they are genuine.
If you get orders in bulk, verify the credentials before delivering the order.
Be honest with the ad you post and enjoy a direct customer experience.
One of the most important things is to not disclose financial or personal information other than what is needed for the payment.
SAFE PURCHASE TIPS
The location must be secure where you meet the seller.
Also, ensure to check the items before paying.
Stay away from unreasonable offers, and if something is available at really low prices then you need to check it properly.
Do not make an abrupt decision, especially for house rentals.
To enjoy a safe and dispute-free deal, it is best to inspect and collect and then pay to close the deal.
If you have unclear details about the item then clarify before buying.
Check the delivery terms, mode of payment, and the price.
Also, do not give anyone your financial information and select the payment option that is comfortable for you.
Buy the items directly from the vendor and check the goods beforehand.
You can also hire third-party services to assist inspect the condition of the item you are planning to purchase for example real estate or automobile purchase.
Compare prices before making the purchase.
Buy with confidence by reviewing a sellers' feedbacks.
Also be careful when buying expensive items such as cell phones, laptops, TVs, airline or event tickets. Never share your personal or bank details (such as your credit card number) with other people online.
IF IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN BE CAUTIOUS
In order to try and lure people into their scam, fraudsters will offer a deal that’s hard to refuse.
They are likely to offer new or popular items at a fraction of the cost of similar ads.
The advert may explain that the item is practically new, has all the best features, and has never had any issues.
If any item, property, or vehicle seems to be too good a deal, be cautious.
If you’re the one selling the item, they may offer you more than asking price, or may want to buy everything you have for sale all at once.
Sometimes a sale just seems off. If anything isn’t sitting right with you, don’t be afraid to walk away. You are not obligated to follow through with a transaction even if you’ve already agreed to a price.
