Community Safety
Practical habits for safe local meetups.
Because Resell connects neighbours directly, a few simple precautions help keep every exchange calm, clear, and trustworthy.
Meet in busy, well-lit public places
Choose a familiar daytime spot such as a main market entrance, transit station forecourt, or public cafe rather than a secluded area or private home whenever possible.
Inspect the item before paying
Check condition, test buttons, ports, or lenses in person, and confirm accessories are present before handing over cash or completing a direct payment.
Keep early conversations inside Resell
Use Resell’s in-app chat to agree on price, condition, and meeting details. Avoid sharing sensitive personal details, ID documents, or unnecessary contact information.
Be cautious of advance payment requests
Resell does not collect product payments or hold escrow. Be wary of anyone pressuring you to transfer deposits or advance fees before you have seen the item.
Report suspicious listings or behaviour
If a listing looks misleading, counterfeit, or unsafe—or if someone behaves abusively in chat—use the in-app report feature so administrators can review it.
Bring someone along for larger items
When picking up furniture or higher-value gear, consider bringing a friend or family member and letting someone know where and when you are meeting.
