Safety
Stay safe on Shaar
Most transactions go smoothly — but a few simple habits keep you safe even when they don't.
6 tips for safe buying & selling
Meet in public places
Choose busy, well-lit locations like cafes or train stations for in-person meetups.
Use Shaar escrow for payment
Never wire money directly. Escrow holds funds until both sides confirm the deal.
Never share banking details
We will never ask for your card PIN, bank password, or SMS codes. Neither should a seller.
Check seller ratings
Look at reviews, response time, and verified badges before buying anything expensive.
Report suspicious listings
Prices that look too good to be true usually are. Hit Report and we'll investigate within 24h.
Trust your instincts
If a conversation feels off, walk away. There are always other listings.
How we protect you
Escrow on every purchase. Your payment is held by Shaar and only released to the seller once you confirm the item arrived as described.
