Trading online can be as safe as it is fun. We do what we can to protect you, but there are a heap of really simple things you can do yourself. And the bonus is that a lot of these things also make you a more sought after trader ;)

What can I do to trade safely?

Here are some things to get you started.

• Research the item and the seller

  Make sure you are confident about what you’re buying and who you’re buying from before committing to the purchase.

• Use safer payment methods

  Safer payment methods provide more security for buyers and may also attract more buyers. Everyone wins!

• Keep your profile secure

  Protect your password, you personal details and your account.

• Safe business practices

  Running a business? There are things businesses can do to operate safely too.
