Buynuse gives customers a free and easy way to buy, sell and rent with their local community. We’ve published a lot of safety advice on our website but here are some basics:

For Buyers

Review potential sellers profiles. Take a look at the seller profile. Some things you can look for are ratings, photo etc. Look for users who have a strong rating on Buynuse or see if you have any social connections in common with the potential seller.

Review the listing photo and description closely. Check if the image a photo of the item for sale is an actual photo or a catalog photo. Sellers are required to display actual photos of the item they want to sell. This lets you see the item condition ahead of time. If the photo and description are unclear, ask questions through Buynuse messaging system.

Communicate through Buynuse messaging system. Communicating outside of Buynuse makes it difficult for us to protect your information. It also puts you at greater risk of fraud and other security issues. We encourage you to communicate using our messaging system, and recommend that you do not share personal information with other users.

Select a Public Location to Meet. Whenever possible, meet at a public location such as a cafe or shopping mall. Take extra caution when meeting for a high-value item, and inform your family or friends ahead of the meeting.

We understand that people meet at a residence to purchase larger items. If this is necessary, we recommend having a friend or family member with you. If you are purchasing a large item, bring someone to help lift or load the item into your vehicle. 

Be polite and courteous. Sometimes transactions don't work out. It can be disappointing if an items turns out to not be what you were looking for or if an item sells before you had a chance to purchase it. It's still important to remain polite and courteous - chances are you'll soon find the great deal you're looking for. 

For Sellers

Create a detailed and accurate post. Include an original photo of your item and a detailed description. Make sure you state the condition of an item, and clearly outline all defects or damage. Make sure that your listing follows Buynuse Listing Rules.

Review potential buyers profiles. When a buyer contacts you look at their profile for past ratings and photo. Look for users who have a strong rating on Buynuse or see if you have any social connections in common with the potential seller.

Communicate through Buynuse messaging system. Communicating outside of Buynuse makes it difficult for us to protect your information. It also puts you at greater risk of fraud and other security issues. We encourage you to communicate using our messaging system, and recommend that you do not share personal information with other users. 

Select a Public Location to Meet. Whenever possible, meet at a public location such as a cafe or shopping mall. Take extra caution when meeting for a high-value item, and inform your family or friends ahead of the meeting.

If you’re selling a large item, be prepared to help or remind the buyer to bring a friend to help lift or load the item into their vehicle. We understand that people meet at a residence to purchase larger items. If this is necessary, we recommend having a friend or family member with you.  

Be polite and courteous. Sometimes transactions don't work out. It's still important to remain polite and courteous - chances are you'll soon find the great deal you're looking for. 

Buying a service

Before negotiating a deal with a service provider, we suggest reading through these tips. It’s a small list of things to look out for, to avoid problems later on.

Choose a service provider that’s been in the business for a while. Look for a provider who can prove that it is qualified for the job you need done.

Try to meet the person. If you’re looking for an online service, try to meet the person who’s doing the work for you. Speak to them in person and agree payment and service delivery terms.

Don’t pay for a service before it’s done. If you agreed on what needs to be done at the beginning, you should be getting the results you asked for.

Ask if they are a registered business. Also, ask for the registered business address. These will be useful if anything goes wrong.

More advice

If someone’s breaking our rules and a customer reports them, we can block them and delete their product. If it’s a very serious issue, we encourage customers to call the police.

Have a read through Buynuse Safety pages for more specific advice. If you still have questions contact us before you trade at operations@buynuse.com

Buynuse provides an online platform where users promote and search for a variety of goods and services. However, the interaction and negotiations between buyers and sellers are the sole responsibility of the parties involved. Because of this, Buynuse cannot provide refunds or assist with disputes.

We recommend buyers and sellers meet in person and that transactions take place only after the buyer inspects the item. Always avoid checks and other kinds of online transfers.

For safety reasons, we discourage Buynuse sellers from shipping their items to buyers, as well as paying for items in advance and receiving them via shipment.

We strongly encourage buyers and sellers to meet in person to exchange the item and cash payment. Choose a public place like a coffee shop, supermarket or mall to complete the transaction and pay in cash, avoiding checks or online transfers.

You have an option to select whether or not they would like to show your contact details such as address, phone number and email in your profile, so it's totally safe for you.

To enable this option:

Go to “Edit Profile” under “Settings”

●   From there you can select whether you want other users to see your contact details.

No they’re not. It's illegal to sell counterfeits, fakes, replicas, or unauthorised or pirated copies of any product. To comply with the law fully, we don't allow these items to be offered on the site. We suggest you report these items if you come across them. Click here to see list of prohibited items.

It may or may not be. The seller might set the price so low because he needs a quick sale. This could be because he needs the money, or doesn’t use the item anymore and wants to get rid of it. It really is a personal choice. But with that in mind, it’s still wise to ask a couple of questions or ask for some paperwork (like the warranty or certificate), just to be sure.

Again, we can’t stress enough how important it is to meet a seller in person and check the item properly before you pay for it.

No, we don’t. If we know, without a doubt, that the item is fake we’ll remove it. But we can’t always be completely sure, because we don’t view the item ourselves. It’s really the seller's duty to not resell fake goods, and the buyer’s duty to check the item before buying.

Always check the paperwork. A genuine item is usually bought from a shop and will come with warranty papers and/or a certificate of authenticity.

Not all items come with paperwork though, so it can get a little tricky sometimes. The absolute best way to know for sure is to look up online how to recognise a replica of what you're buying. If you're looking for a Rolex for your father, go online and look at replicas vs originals - then meet in person to look at the item to check.

Chances are that if you're buying pre-owned items, the price range is going to be lower than the retail price, so it is a grey area. Plus, we're always tempted by a good deal. Make sure you inspect the item to avoid disappointments.

Some behaviour giveaways:

1) The seller may try to rush you into the purchase, saying there are other buyers that also want the item. Don't fall for it. Take your time and make a calculated purchase.

2) If you ask for a better price on a high end item that's still expensive even though it's not new, and the seller goes ahead and takes a chunk off the price, be careful. Ask yourself if the item belonged to you, how much would you let it go for?

First choose an appropriate category and sub-category for the item or service you are offering. Choosing correct Category will get you more exposure.

Enter detailed description of the product. The condition, make and design, quality, color, additional accessories etc. can be added here.

Upload photos for 360 degree view that clearly shows the item. Note that posts with photos significantly attract users. Up to 10 images can be uploaded. The first image will be the main cover photo

Select relevant stamp to make your product stand out.

You can also add a link to a YouTube video if you would like. The more visual you make your post, the more views you will get.

Set a reasonable price and quantity and click the “Post Product" button. The price should correspond to the market pricing and reflect the actual product condition.

Clear Title: If you are editing the title, ensure to clearly mention the item or service offered in 70 characters or less.

You can also opt to make your post Featured Ad to help you get more exposure.

You can also opt to make your post Featured Ad to help you get more exposure.

Choosing the correct category is crucial as a lot of people search by category. Choosing the right one can get you more views and better responses to your posts. Also, once you post your product, you can’t change its category.

Note that categories break down into sub-categories, so be as specific as possible.

Buynuse will either take the post down or will send you an email suggesting a category. However, if you keep posting in the wrong category, we’ll restrict your account.

Yes, we have some posting rules on the site. Quickly read through them, to avoid us having to contact you to change something.

Yes, it is definitely very important. Since Buynuse promotes local buying and selling, so being available to people close to home is key. It is also great for a buyer to be able to meet you in person and look at the item before you sell it.

Note that when posting a product, ensure that you have correct location in your profile as you will not be able to make changes once the post is live on the site. If you post a product with incorrect location, you’ll have to delete it and post a new one after updating your address in the profile.

No, Buynuse does not allow posting the same post in more than one location.

If you’re offering a service and need to post in more than one location, list the areas in the product post description instead.

Radial Search allows you to broaden your search. If you are looking for a product in your location, but can’t find one you like, you can choose how far away from your location you’d be willing to travel. You’ll find this option after you run a search from the homepage. It will be on the left hand side of the results page, where all the ads are in the listing. If you are willing to travel 5 miles away from your location to view a car for example, why not broaden your search to get more results.

After we receive your report, we consider the circumstances, including the user's past history with Buynuse. If we decide to take action, we may send the user a warning, remove the listing, or limit the buying and selling privileges.

In accordance with our Privacy Policy, we don't share any specific action we take about a listing.

Your e-mail service provider always looks to protect you from unwanted or malicious e-mails, such as spam, phishing or scam e-mails. Your e-mail will transfer these directly to your Junk/Spam folder. In some cases, they’ll make a mistake and remove e-mails you actually want to see.

Therefore, if you are using an online email account, please check your bulk/junk/spam mail folder. Some email providers and ISPs have implemented "spam filters" some of which are badly designed or misconfigured, resulting in Buynuse emails being filtered out or intercepted.

Another reason can be that your email provider may be experiencing delays, or other technical issues.
