Meet in a Public Place
Choose a busy, well-lit location and meet during the day whenever possible. Avoid private or isolated places.
Stay Safe on PRIKET
Take your time, keep important details in PRIKET and inspect what you are buying before completing a deal.
Essential Safety Tips
Simple precautions can help you avoid unnecessary risk before, during and after a marketplace conversation.
Inspect Before Payment
Check the item carefully, test that it works and confirm it matches the photos and description before you pay.
Never Pay in Advance
Do not send money directly to reserve an item or cover delivery before you have inspected what you are buying.
Keep the Conversation on PRIKET
Keep important details in your PRIKET conversation so you can review what was agreed and report suspicious behaviour.
Protect Your Account
Never share your password, verification code or other private account information with a buyer or seller.
Trust Your Instincts
Stop when someone pressures you, changes the agreed terms suddenly or offers a deal that seems too good to be true.
Plan a Safer Meetup
Prepare before you leave and keep control of the decision when you arrive.
Before You Meet
- Read the full ad and check every photo.
- Ask questions about condition, ownership and what is included.
- Agree on the item and price before travelling.
- Choose a public location and tell someone where you are going.
At the Meetup
- Take your time and do not let anyone rush you.
- Test the important functions and inspect for hidden damage.
- Confirm the item is the same one shown in the ad.
- Walk away if the item or terms are different from what was agreed.
Pay Carefully
Never send an advance payment directly to a seller, including money to reserve an item or pay for delivery. If both sides choose optional PRIKET Protected Payment, follow only the payment flow shown inside PRIKET rather than instructions sent outside the platform.
No direct advance payment
Use only the PRIKET flow
Confirm item receipt carefully
If Something Feels Wrong
Stop the deal and do not send money. Keep the conversation as evidence, block unwanted contact and use the report option available inside an active PRIKET conversation so the team can review it.
