Staying Safe on Zeller

We want your experience with us to be secure and pleasant. Here are some tips to safeguard yourself while using Zeller:

  1. Vet Sellers: Check Reviews: Always go through seller feedback to verify their credibility. Past buyers often leave reviews that can inform your decision. Sharing your own experience helps others, too. Look for the “Feedback” section whenever you engage with a seller.
  2. Payment Caution: Avoid Prepayments: It’s safer to meet sellers face-to-face in public or opt for payment upon delivery. Make sure the item matches your expectations before finalising payment. Don’t provide opportunities for scammers to switch items.
  3. Protect Your Financial Information: Guard Details: Never share sensitive financial information like PIN codes or passwords. Be wary of scams or fraudulent services requesting fees or money transfers.
  4. Trust Your Instincts: Use Common Sense: If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Watch out for extremely low prices or promises of quick money. Trust your instincts and proceed cautiously.
  5. Special Tips for Different Needs:

For Job Seekers:

  • Avoid paying application or interview fees.

For Car Buyers:
