You can choose any option you want to.

3.    Search for an ad based on location

4.    Points to remember while checking a product?

As a buyer it is important to verify your product before making a purchase!

Things to remember: –

  1. Product inspection: Physically examine the product. Check for any damage or defects.
  2. Working condition: For any gadgets, switch on to see they’re functional.
  3. Product Age: Cross check the age of the product by asking for the original bill/receipt from the seller
  4. Proofs: Insist on warranty card, receipt, box or slips.
  5. Ad relevance: Ensure that the product matches the description of the Ad.
  6. Fake products: Beware of any replica products i.e. such as clone, first copy.
  7. Accessories: Remember to ask for all related accessories from the seller.

5.    Can I pay advance to seller?

We would strongly recommend not to pay in advance. If you must pay something to have the seller hold the product for you, ensure it is a small & insignificant amount.

Advance payment is the most common technique adopted by fraud sellers to trick buyers and pursue them to make upfront payments for goods, services, etc.

Advance payment frauds – What you must watch for!

  • Too good to be true and irresistible offers
  • Token money demands without meeting in person/physically checking the product
  • Posing as people from trustworthy & noble professions like Army Personnel, CISF, BSF, Doctors, NGOs, Public services, etc.
  • Showcase of absolute urgency to sell the item or an emotional appeal. Family member is sick and urgent need of money for operation, payment of school fees, etc.
  • Advance fees to cover any processing charges, pay duty, taxes, courier fees, shipment and conversion charges, etc.

6.    Where should I meet the seller?

It is important that you meet the seller at a safe place. A few basics to follow so that you deal safely and hassle-free:

  • Public Places: Meet the seller at secure & public location such as Malls, Offices, Restaurants, and Coffee Shops, etc. where there are enough people around. Do not travel to far-away places or meet at isolated places / localities that you are not aware of.
  • Switching Places: Beware of a seller who changes location(s) and asks you to reach a different destination than already decided.
  • Have company: Also, try to have someone accompany you to close the deal!

7.    How can I find Ads that I have seen before?

  1. Once you open an ad, you’ll see a “Heart Shaped” icon.
  2. Click on that icon and that post will be saved in your Favorites section.
