Buy and sell safely

Bwatoo does everything possible to ensure secure transactions. Follow these tips to protect yourself from scams and make the most of our platform.

Tips for buyers

Verify the seller's profile

Check reviews, account age, and verification badge. A seller with a positive history is more reliable.

Never pay before seeing the item

Always inspect the item in person before paying. Make sure it matches the description and photos in the ad.

Use Bwatoo secure payment

Our secure payment system protects your money until you receive the item. The money is only transferred to the seller after your confirmation.

Beware of prices that are too low

An abnormally low price can be a sign of a scam. Compare with market prices and ask the seller questions.

Meet in a public place

Choose public and busy places for meetings (shopping centers, police stations). Avoid isolated areas.

Tips for sellers

Don't share personal information

Never share your home address, bank details, or other sensitive information with buyers you don't know.

Use Bwatoo messaging

Communicate via our built-in messaging. This protects you and allows our team to intervene if there's a problem.

Verify payment before delivery

Make sure the payment is confirmed in your Bwatoo wallet before handing over the item or sending it for delivery.

Abnormally low price for a valuable item
Request for urgent payment or through unsecured means
