Agree on pickup or postage clearly before meeting. Use public places where possible, avoid risky locations, and do not share unnecessary personal details.

No-shows and flaky buyers

Buy Now is a committed purchase. If a buyer commits and then does not follow through, keep the messages and use the order/report options so the behaviour can be reviewed.

Problems with a seller

If the item is not as described, the seller stops responding, or handover details change unexpectedly, keep the conversation on Bidra and report the issue from the listing, order or messages.

Reporting a listing

Report listings that look unsafe, illegal, stolen, misleading, spammy or prohibited. Include the reason and any useful context so the listing can be reviewed quickly.

Keep chats on Bidra

Messages on Bidra make it easier to review payment expectations, pickup arrangements and behaviour if something goes wrong.

Disputes

Start by contacting the other user clearly. Keep records of messages, listing details, payment and handover plans. If the issue continues, use report and dispute guidance.
