Buyer safety

Mobile Market is a notice board. The seller is not us. Treat every ad as unverified until you have checked the phone yourself.

Before you pay

• Meet in a busy public place — a mall, Hafeez Centre corridor, or a well-lit market. Tell someone where you are going.
• Inspect the screen, cameras, charging, SIM trays, Face ID / fingerprint, and IMEI in Settings vs the tray.
• Check PTA / DIRBS status yourself. Seller badges on this site are not a government certificate.
• Ask the seller to show the purchase proof if they claim an invoice.
• Never send advance money, “token”, or courier-on-delivery payment to a stranger who will not meet.
• Be careful with deals that are far below the going price.
