Tips For Safe Trading

RFUK do not accept responsibility for any adverts or transactions on these forums. We will do our best to remove any known scammers and monitor adverts daily. These tips are intended to help transactions go smoothly, but are not a guarentee against scammers or timewasters.

• Check the buyers/sellers I-Trader rating before making a transaction.
• Always try get a landline telephone number and address of a seller.
• Always pay by Paypal if possible. Avoid sending cash through the post.
• Ask for photos of what you are buying to prove condition of item, ask lots of question before commiting to a purchase.
• If meeting people alone, try to meet in a public place and make sure people know where you are going.
• If requesting postage by courier confirm which courier the seller is using. Sending of live animals by Royal Mail is illegal and unethical.
• Do not be offended if a seller requests a deposit. No one likes having their timewasted and a deposit can help stop this.
