General safety advice


Meet & Check - Try meeting the seller in person and checking the item thoroughly to make sure you are satisfied with it before you make a payment.
Try to exchange the item and payment at the same time – Buyers don’t make any payments before receiving the items. Sellers, don’t send the item before receiving the payments 
Use common sense – Avoid unrealistic offers and goods. If the price is too good to be true be cautious before proceeding.
Never give out your financial information -This includes financial details such as bank account details, eBay/PayPal information, and any other information that could be misused by fraudsters.
 

Scams and frauds


Fake payment services - Sellit.lk does not offer any form of payment scheme or protection. Please report any fraud emails claiming to offer such services to any buyers or sellers. Please Avoid using online payment services or sites unless you are 100% sure that they are genuine and you do so at your own risk.
Fake information requests - Sellit.lk never sends emails requesting your personal details. If you receive such an email asking you to provide your personal details to us, do not open any links. Please report the email as spam and delete it.
Fake fee requests - Avoid anyone that asks for extra money to buy or sell an item or service. Sellit.lk is a free service and will not charge users for its basic uses, and doesn't allow items that are not located in Sri Lanka, so import and brokerage fees should never be required
Requesting to use money transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram - These services are not meant for transactions between unknown parties and many scams are run through them. Please avoid requests to use these services.
