Deal safely on StoopSell

Thousands of safe deals happen every day by following a few simple rules.

Meet in public

Choose a busy spot — a mall, filling station or market. Bring a friend for high-value deals.

Test the phone, start the car, check the item works. Only pay when you're satisfied.

Pay when you collect, never in advance. For Venmo, confirm the transaction together on both phones.

Never send money, 'delivery fees' or deposits to someone you haven't met. That's the #1 scam.

A $15,000 car for $4,000 is bait. If it looks unbelievable, it is.

Texts and StoopSell messages give you a record. Be careful with sellers who rush you to secret channels.

For cars and land: verify registration and title documents before money changes hands.

Every ad has a Report button. Reports are reviewed and repeat offenders are banned.
