Safety guide
Buyer safety.
How buyers can inspect, communicate, and pay more safely.
Keep the conversation safe
Use Mawjoud chat when possible, especially before you trust a new seller.
- Never share OTPs, bank login details, card numbers, or verification links.
- Be careful if someone pushes you away from the platform immediately.
- Report suspicious links, impersonation, or pressure tactics.
Inspect before payment
A local marketplace works best when buyers can verify the item before committing.
- Meet in a public, well-lit place when possible.
- Check photos, condition, serial numbers, ownership signals, and included accessories.
- Slow down if the price is far below market or the story feels urgent.
Use safe payment habits
Avoid payment methods that make it hard to recover money if the item is not real.
- Be cautious with advance deposits.
- Keep receipts and screenshots for your records.
- Do not pay through unknown delivery or escrow links sent by strangers.
