Classified Marketplace Safety: Checks for Bechly Buyers and Sellers

Bechly connects buyers and sellers but does not take part in their transaction or guarantee identity, payment, delivery, legality or item condition. Keep enough conversation in Bechly chat to retain a useful record. Inspect the item and its documents before paying, and check payment in your own bank or wallet rather than trusting a screenshot.

Buyers should stop when a seller refuses inspection, demands an advance, changes the story, sends an unknown payment link, or creates pressure to act immediately. Sellers should not hand over an item until funds are visible in their own account. Never disclose an OTP, password, WhatsApp code or account login.

Reporting and blocking

In the Bechly mobile app, a signed-in user can report a listing from the listing detail screen, report a user from a public profile or chat, and block or unblock a user from a profile or chat. A blocked chat stops further messaging until the blocking user reverses it. Reporting sends the selected reason and details for moderation; reporting does not guarantee recovery or action, police action, or a particular outcome.

Free and giveaway listing safety

Free and giveaway listings need the same checks. A seller may describe an item as free and then ask for a delivery advance, booking token, rider fee, packing fee, verification payment, OTP, WhatsApp code, or login details. Do not send money or disclose a security code to claim a free item. Arrange your own collection where practical, meet in daylight at a public or known location, and take another person when collecting a large item from a home or office. Inspect the item's condition and estimate transport, cleaning, repair, or missing-part costs before accepting it. Treat unusually valuable free offers, copied photos, unknown payment links, and pressure to act immediately as warning signs.

Read Bechly's Terms and use the available listing, profile, or chat reporting control when appropriate.
