Buyer & Seller Safety

AdsZoo is a dedicated classified website designed to connect buyers with sellers. AdsZoo does not keep tabs on transactions so as with any purchase or sale over the internet, please use common sense.

Advice for buyers
This is a site that is used predominantly buy locals however it’s always worth validating the credibility of the seller by talking to them on the phone and  ideally inspecting the item to be purchased in person.
It is generally accepted that you will need to pay for the item before receiving it – but avoid parting with your money until you are happy that the seller is legitimate and the goods are as expected.
Cash payments are ideal in a local situation. Sellers with Paypal accounts may ask for money to be sent via that service. This is generally safe and you will get some sort of receipt. We do not recommend any other payment transfer services.
Advice for sellers
The same general advice for buyers and sellers applies. Try to validate the credibility of the buyer and use common sense.
If posting your item, it is generally accepted that a person will need to pay for the item before it is sent.  It is unadvisable to send your item without first receiving payment in all other circumstances.
It is a good idea to send by Registered Post. This ensures proof-of-delivery, and insurance can also be purchased to cover lost or damaged articles.

Fraud protection
AdsZoo takes fraud seriously. All IP addresses for user registrations and listed ads are recorded for security purposes. Users and ads are moderated frequently.
Protect your personally identifiable information at all times and never give out your bank details, credit card numbers, etc.
Beware of buyers who wish to send you a cheque for more than the amount of the item. This is a scam to get you to refund the difference – the original cheque will invariably be fraudulent.
If you find any illegal, suspicious or fraudulent behavior on AdsZoo, please contact us with your concern.
