3. Take your item or order a delivery

4. Leave your feedback about the seller

    1. Feel free to share your experience: write your feedback on the seller's page.

No, as we are not a shop. Buyamsellam is the marketplace — here you can sell your stuff, buy goods from real people, find a job or services you need. Any deal you make, you make with people. And we exist just to help you find each other.

No, we don’t. But you can always discuss with the seller a comfortable way of delivering.

At first, don't worry! If you've faced such a situation, we recommend:

  1. Wait a bit while your ad is under review. It's quite possible that our moderators are checking your advert and it will appear in search results within a few hours.
  2. Check your inbox. You will receive a notification when your advert goes live. If there is something you should edit, we'll specify that as well.

Important! If you make some changes to your advert, it will go for review again. It won't be shown in search results while we're checking it.

To check the statuses of all your ads or make edits to them, sign in to your Buyamsellam account and click on "My Adverts".

No worries, it can be fixed! Our moderators could decline your ad for several reasons:

  1. You've tried to post a few items within one ad. Please post each item separately. We have a rule: 1 ad = 1 product.
  2. You've posted nudity pictures or images containing contact details, watermarks, etc. Please, remove them and add real photos of the item you intend to sell.
  3. You've set an irrelevant price. Make sure to carry out some investigation of market value and input a fair price for your product.

Make the required edits and click on the "Post ad" button. If everything is fine, your ad will be live within an hour or two.

We hope any issues you've faced will be resolved shortly.

Knowledge and caution — that's what helps to protect yourself from being deceived. We listed a few general tips that can help you protect yourself from unscrupulous sellers:

1. Check Feedback

It helps to ensure the person is reliable. People who had experiences with particular sellers leave reviews to keep others informed of how deals went. Take a minute to check reviews before making a deal. Whatever experience you have had, other buyers will appreciate you sharing it with them. Remember to view the "Feedback" section whenever you have or plan to deal with a seller or service provider.

2. Avoid sending prepayments

Meet with sellers face to face in a public place or request payment on delivery. Check out the item's quality and make sure that it lives up your expectations before you make payment.

3. Make sure that the packed item is the one you’ve inspected

Inspect the item and pay only when you have it in your possession. Don’t give a scammer the opportunity to swap it.

4. Never give out your financial information that can be misused

Be attentive and avoid scams and frauds such as fake payment services, fee requests, or requests to use money transfer services.

5. Use common sense

Please, avoid anything that appears too good to be true, such as unrealistically low prices or promises of quick money.
