For anything you're handing over in person, meet in a public place during daylight if you can — a shopping centre car park, a café, anywhere with other people around. If a buyer insists on meeting somewhere isolated, or very late at night, that alone is worth being cautious about. For anything valuable, consider bringing someone with you.
A common scam: someone posing as a buyer asks you to "verify you're a real seller" by reading them a code that was just sent to your phone or email — that code is actually your own account's login code, and sharing it hands them your account. Fyndo will never ask you to share a verification code with another user for any reason. If anyone asks you to, refuse and consider reporting them.
A buyer "accidentally" sends more than the asking price, then asks you to refund the difference — often before their original payment has actually cleared. By the time it turns out their payment bounces or gets reversed, the refund you sent is real money, gone. If a payment is more than what was agreed, don't refund anything until you've independently confirmed the original payment has fully cleared — not just show up as "pending" in your account.
Where it's available for your listing, Fyndo's own secure payment option holds the buyer's payment until you've both confirmed the item was received as described, rather than money changing hands with no record either of you can point to later. For in-person sales, cash is fine for a straightforward local deal — the main risk there is more about who you're meeting than the money itself.
A screenshot of a payment confirmation isn't the same as money actually in your account. Wait until a payment has genuinely settled before you send anything — this is the single most common way sellers get scammed on classifieds sites generally, not specific to any one platform.
If a deal feels off — unusual urgency, a story that keeps changing, pressure to move off the platform to another app immediately — it's fine to just walk away. A genuine buyer won't mind reasonable questions or a bit of caution.
