Stay safe when you buy and sell
Most deals go smoothly. These habits keep it that way.
For buyers
-
Meet in a public place
Choose a busy, well-lit spot such as a shopping mall, bank or fuel station, and bring a friend if you can.
-
Inspect before you pay
Check the item carefully, test it, and ask for receipts or documents. Never pay for something you haven't seen.
-
Be careful with advance payments
Do not send Mobile Money or a deposit to someone you haven't met. Pay only when you have the item in hand.
-
Understand the badges
A Verified Seller badge confirms identity only. It is not a guarantee of the item or the deal, so still inspect first.
For sellers
-
Keep chats on the site or WhatsApp
Keep records of your conversations. Be wary of buyers who rush you or refuse to meet.
-
Confirm payment before handing over
Check that Mobile Money has actually reached your wallet. A screenshot is not proof of payment.
-
Never share codes or PINs
Tonbibiaagh staff will never ask for your PIN, password or one-time code. Do not share them with anyone.
-
Get verified
Verifying your identity lets you post more ads and helps buyers trust you.
