Safe trading on 123 Markt
Most buyers and sellers are reliable. These tips help you spot the exceptions.
As a buyer
- See more expensive items first and pay when you collect them.
- Needs to be shipped? Do not pay a stranger in advance, or use a payment method with buyer protection.
- Is the price much lower than usual? Be extra careful.
- For a car, check the licence plate with the RDW and ask for the service history.
As a seller
- Never click payment requests or links to “receive” money. You never need to log in to your bank to receive money.
- Be careful with buyers who are in a hurry, only want to talk on WhatsApp or send a courier you have to pay.
- Never share login codes, PINs or copies of your ID.
