Stay Safe on Fairlyused.name.ng
At Fairlyused.name.ng, we make it easy to connect sellers with interested buyers across Nigeria. While we do our best to build a trustworthy community, your safety is ultimately in your hands. Once we connect you, please follow these essential safety guidelines to ensure a smooth and secure transaction.
General Safety Rules
- Trust your gut: If a deal looks too good to be true (like a premium smartphone selling for a ridiculously low price), be cautious.
- Keep chats on the platform: Use our messaging system to discuss details. Moving to external apps too quickly makes it harder to track issues if something goes wrong.
- Protect your personal information: Never share sensitive details like your bank card PIN, BVN, NIN, or online banking passwords.
Safe Buying Tips1. Inspect before you pay
- Say no to upfront payments: Never pay “commitment fees,” “holding fees,” or “delivery charges” before you see the item in person.
- Verify the condition: Test electronics thoroughly, check phones for hidden issues, and inspect physical items for damage before handing over money.
2. Choose safe meeting spots
- Public locations only: Always meet in crowded, well-lit public places. Busy shopping malls, popular eateries, or well-known fuel stations are excellent choices.
- Do not go alone: Never go to a stranger’s house, hotel room, or a lonely area. Always bring a friend along.
3. Secure your payment
- Pay only on delivery: Transfer funds or hand over cash only after you have inspected the item and are 100% satisfied.
- Verify transfers: If you pay via bank transfer, wait patiently with the seller until they receive the successful alert on their end.
Safe Selling Tips1. Verify every payment
- Watch out for fake alerts: Never rely on SMS notifications, emails, or screenshots shown by the buyer. Always open your official mobile banking app to confirm the money is in your balance.
- No money, no item: Do not hand over the item or let the buyer walk away until you have verified the funds.
2. Meet safely
- Avoid home visits: Meet the buyer in a public space. If you must meet at home because you are selling heavy furniture, make sure you are not home alone.
- Pre-paid delivery: If you agree to ship the item via a dispatch rider, ensure the buyer has fully paid and the money is cleared before you send it out.
