Safety Tips

Trade with confidence, every time.

ONEMALL.NG connects buyers and sellers directly - these guidelines help keep every transaction safe.

For buyers

Meet in safe, public places

Prefer well-lit, public locations for inspections and handovers - a busy plaza, mall or police station car park works well.

Inspect before you pay

Check the item matches the listing photos and description in person before any money changes hands.

Avoid upfront transfers to strangers

Be cautious of sellers who insist on full payment before you've seen the item, especially for high-value goods.

Prefer verified shops

Shops with the verified badge have completed phone verification and profile review - look for it before you commit.

For sellers

Use honest photos and descriptions

Accurate listings sell faster and build the trust that keeps buyers coming back to your shop.

Verify buyer intent

For deliveries, confirm the buyer's phone number and address, and avoid sharing sensitive personal details beyond what's needed.

Confirm payment before releasing goods

For transfers, confirm the funds have actually cleared in your account - not just a screenshot - before handing over items.

Report suspicious buyers

If a buyer pressures you, asks you to move off-platform immediately, or offers to overpay, treat it as a red flag.
