Safety Tips
Your safety is our priority. Follow these guidelines to ensure safe and successful transactions on fairvalue.pk.
Tips for Buyers
Protect yourself when purchasing items on fairvalue.pk.
Inspect Before Paying
Always examine the item thoroughly at the time of delivery. Check for defects, damage, or discrepancies from the ad description. With cash on delivery, you have the right to refuse an item that does not match expectations.
Meet in Public Places
When collecting items in person, choose well-lit, busy public locations such as shopping malls, restaurants, or petrol stations. Avoid isolated areas and never invite strangers to your home.
Never Pay in Advance
Do not send money transfers, bank deposits, or mobile wallet payments before receiving the item. Cash on delivery is the safest method — pay only when the item is in your hands.
Verify the Seller
Before meeting, have a detailed WhatsApp conversation. Ask for additional photos, videos, or details about the item. A genuine seller will be happy to provide more information.
Take Photos
Document the item with photos and screenshots of your WhatsApp conversation. This evidence can be valuable if a dispute arises later.
Trust Your Instincts
If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be wary of unusually low prices, pressure to act quickly, or sellers who avoid answering questions directly.
Tips for Sellers
Stay safe while selling your items on fairvalue.pk.
Screen Buyers
Have a brief conversation with potential buyers before agreeing to meet. Genuine buyers will ask relevant questions about the item and will not pressure you for personal information.
Choose Safe Meeting Points
Meet buyers in public, well-populated areas during daylight hours. If delivering to the buyer's location, bring a friend or family member along.
Cash Only
Accept only cash payments at the time of delivery. Be cautious of buyers who offer to pay via bank transfer or mobile wallet before meeting — this can be a scam tactic.
Protect Your Privacy
Your WhatsApp number is visible on your ad. Avoid sharing additional personal information such as your home address, CNIC number, or bank account details.
Keep Records
Save screenshots of your conversations and agreements with buyers. If a dispute arises, these records will help resolve the situation.
