Trade Safely

Buy and sell with confidence.

Use these practical safeguards before paying, delivering or handing over products.

Verify Before Paying

Review the seller profile, product photos, location, ratings and verification badge. Ask for current photos or a video where appropriate.

Use Safe Payment Practices

Avoid rushed upfront payments. Confirm the recipient name, transaction purpose and delivery arrangement before sending money.

Inspect Products

For high-value, livestock or second-hand items, inspect the product physically or use a trusted representative before completing payment.

Meet Safely

Use public locations, involve another person and avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Share meeting details with someone you trust.

Report Suspicious Activity

Do not proceed where a seller pressures you, changes payment details unexpectedly or provides inconsistent information. Contact aSoko support.
