Safer exchanges

Safer local exchanges

Use good judgment and report suspicious behavior.

Keep the conversation in context

Discuss the item in its listing-linked thread. Report suspicious payment links or pressure to move the conversation elsewhere.

Protect private details

Avoid putting personal email, exact home address, identity documents or verification codes in public listings.

Inspect before agreeing

Ask questions, inspect the item and agree the terms directly. A verification badge only describes the specific check shown.

Block and report

Blocking stops new messages. Relevant history remains available for a report. Contact local emergency services for immediate danger; marketplace support is not an emergency service.
