Safety tips for buyers

As a buyer, you’re protected by Exchstore’s policies — but you play a critical role in keeping yourself safe. Follow these practices on every purchase.

  • Always read the full product description and all photos carefully before contacting a seller.
  • Ask for additional photos or a video of the item — especially for electronics and high-value goods.
  • Check the seller’s profile: ratings, number of completed trades, and time on platform.
  • For local meetups, suggest a safe, public location such as a café or shopping mall.
  • Inspect the item thoroughly before handing over any payment.
  • Use Exchstore’s recommended payment methods to stay protected.
  • Never pay a deposit before seeing or inspecting the item.
  • Trust your gut — if something feels off, walk away.
  • Save all communication in case you need to raise a dispute.

💡

If a deal falls apart or you feel you’ve been defrauded, report the user and contact Exchstore support immediately. Do not delete your messages.
