Tips
- Meet in daylight, in public, and bring a friend if you can.
- Inspect and test the item before you show your QR or 6-digit code. Showing the code releases the seller's payout.
- Never pay outside the app. Cash, gift cards, wires and payment-app transfers are not covered by buyer protection.
- Keep the conversation in Pyooom chat so support can help if something goes wrong.
- For large items, confirm the car fits before you drive over. Bring straps and a blanket.
- If anything feels off, walk away and report the user from their profile.
