BuySellSeychelles connects honest people. Follow these tips to stay safe.
Meet in a public place
Always meet the buyer or seller in a busy public location — a shopping centre, a market, or a café. Never meet at your home or a secluded place, especially for high-value items.
Never pay in advance
Never transfer money before seeing and checking the item in person. Scammers often invent urgent reasons to get payment before delivery. If someone insists on advance payment, it's a red flag.
Check the item carefully
Inspect the item before paying. Test electronics, check documents for vehicles, verify the condition matches the photos. Don't be rushed — a serious seller will have no problem waiting.
Use the in-app messaging
Keep your conversations in BuySellSeychelles. Avoid moving to WhatsApp or SMS too quickly — our messaging keeps a record and allows us to help in case of a dispute.
Protect your personal information
Never share your ID, bank account details, or passwords with anyone you meet on the platform. A legitimate buyer or seller will never ask for this information.
Prefer Verified sellers
Sellers with the ✓ Verified badge have completed their profile (photo, name, WhatsApp number and island). This adds a layer of accountability. Check their reviews and response rate too.
