Safety & Trust

How we keep every transaction safe on Yaadbay.

Buyer Protection

Your money is safe with Yaadbay. When you pay for an order, funds are held securely and only released to the seller after you confirm delivery.

  • If an item doesn't arrive, you get a full refund
  • If an item is significantly different from the listing, you can open a dispute
  • Dispute resolution is completed within 5 business days
  • Our team mediates and makes the final decision

Verified Sellers

All sellers on Yaadbay must complete identity verification before listing items for sale.

  • Government-issued ID required
  • Verified sellers display a badge on their listings
  • Farmers Market sellers require additional agricultural association credentials
  • Repeat offenders are permanently banned

Safe Payments

Always pay through Yaadbay. Never send money outside the platform — not via bank transfer, cash, or any other method.

  • All payments are processed securely through Yaadbay
  • You are NOT covered by buyer protection if you pay outside the platform
  • Sellers who ask for off-platform payment should be reported immediately

Fraud Prevention Tips

  • Local pickup: Always meet in a public place — a busy plaza, gas station, or police station parking lot
  • Never share: Do not give anyone your bank account number, PIN, or online banking password
  • Too good to be true: If a deal seems unrealistically cheap, it probably is — proceed with caution
  • Verify before paying: Inspect items before confirming delivery on high-value purchases
  • Keep communication on-platform: Don't move conversations to WhatsApp or text before the deal is done — scammers use this to disappear
