Stay safe when buying and selling on Bolale.
Bolale connects buyers and sellers directly. Taking a few simple precautions can help make your experience safer and more comfortable.
Meet in a safe place
When meeting someone you do not know, choose a busy, well-lit public place whenever possible. Avoid isolated locations, especially when meeting for the first time.
Tell someone where you are going
Let a friend or family member know where you are going, who you are meeting and approximately when you expect to return.
Check the item before paying
Buyers should inspect the item carefully before completing the purchase. Check that its condition, size, brand and other details match the listing.
Be careful with payments
Agree on the payment method with the other person before meeting. Do not send money in advance to someone you do not trust, and never share passwords, PINs, verification codes or other sensitive financial information.
Keep communication clear
Ask questions before arranging a meeting if anything about the item is unclear. Sellers should describe items accurately and disclose significant damage, defects or other important information.
Be cautious of suspicious offers
Be careful if someone pressures you to act quickly, offers an unusually high or low price, asks for unnecessary personal information or sends suspicious links.
Protect your personal information
Only share information necessary to complete the transaction. Avoid posting sensitive personal or financial information publicly in a listing.
Report suspicious activity
If a listing or user appears suspicious, misleading or inappropriate, use Bolale’s reporting feature so it can be reviewed.
Remember
Bolale provides a platform for buyers and sellers to connect. Buyers and sellers are responsible for arranging meetings, inspecting items and agreeing on payment directly.
