For buyers

Safety recommendations

Inspecting and receiving the goods, paying safely, signs of fraud, and what to do when a deal looks doubtful.

In short

Pay after inspecting the goods or after a clear agreement, do not transfer the full amount blindly, and meet in busy places. Report a suspicious listing to support via «Contacts».

Inspection and receipt

  • Where possible, inspect the goods in person before paying or immediately after receiving them.
  • Arrange meetings in busy, well-lit places.
  • Check that the goods match the description, photos and attributes from the listing.
  • Received an order placed on the site? Click «Confirm receipt» in «My purchases».

Payment

  • Payment for the goods happens directly between buyer and seller. Remesla is not a payment intermediary and does not hold funds during the deal.
  • Avoid a full prepayment to an unfamiliar seller without a clear agreement; where possible choose payment on receipt.
  • Be alert if you are asked to pay «via a link» outside the agreed method.
  • Never share a CVV, passwords or SMS codes — they are not needed to receive a payment.

Signs of fraud

  • A price far below the market one with no reasonable explanation.
  • Pressure, artificial scarcity and rushing you into a prepayment.
  • A request to move to a third-party site or app «for a safe deal».
  • An empty profile with no other listings and no contacts, and a refusal to talk on the phone.

If something goes wrong

Stop communicating and report it to support through the «Contacts» page. Add a link to the listing or the order number — that way we check the situation and act faster.
