However, like any online marketplace, there's always a risk of encountering scams. Your awareness and caution are your best defense!Please read this carefully to protect yourself and understand our stance on transactions.
Your Vigilance is Key: How to Protect Yourself from Scams
We want you to be empowered to spot and avoid fraudulent activity. Here are essential tips to keep you safe:- If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Scammers often lure buyers with unbelievably low prices, especially on high-value items like motorcycles. Be skeptical of deals significantly below market value.
- Never buy motorcycles sight unseen. Always inspect the item in person or arrange for a trusted third party to do so before sending any money. Avoid sending funds for anything you haven't physically verified.
- Always verify seller and product information. Do your homework! Research the seller's reputation, look for reviews, ratings, and any red flags. Be wary of sellers who are reluctant to provide full details, such as clear pictures, proof of ownership, or direct contact information.
- Use secure payment methods only. Avoid risky payment methods like wire transfers, gift cards, or money transfer services, as these offer no protection if something goes wrong. Stick to secure, traceable payment systems like PayPal or credit cards that offer fraud protection.
- Report suspicious activity immediately. If you encounter anything that seems like a scam or believe you've been targeted, please report it to us right away via our support page.
