Buy safely on Hatiwal

Ask your questions and agree on the price in the app's chat, so everything you agreed is written down in one place. You can block a user who bothers you.

Open the seller's profile: reviews from earlier buyers, the verified badge, how long they have been a member and how quickly they usually reply.

• Meet in a busy, public place — markets, mosques, or shopping areas are safest.
• Choose daylight hours whenever possible.
• Bring a friend, or tell someone where you're going and who you're meeting.
• Inspect the item carefully before paying — make sure it works as described.
• Trust your instincts — if something feels wrong, walk away.

Pay when the item is in your hands. Hatiwal has no online payment and no delivery, so a seller who asks for money in advance or offers to send the item is not following how Hatiwal works.

Never pay in advance or send money before seeing the item in person.

Choose Report on the listing or on the seller's profile. Reports go to the Hatiwal team, who can take down listings that break the rules.
