Last Updated: July 2026

Introduction

At Zama Shops, your safety is our top priority. These guidelines are designed to help buyers, sellers and businesses trade confidently while avoiding scams, fraud and unsafe situations.

Buying Safely

Always inspect the product carefully before making a purchase. Ask relevant questions, request additional photos if needed and verify the condition of the item. Meet the seller in a safe public place whenever possible.

  • Inspect the item before payment.
  • Compare prices with similar listings.
  • Avoid offers that seem unrealistically cheap.
  • Check the seller's profile and activity.

Selling Safely

Provide accurate descriptions and genuine photos of your products. Meet buyers in secure locations and avoid sharing unnecessary personal information.

  • Use real product photos.
  • Describe defects honestly.
  • Confirm payment before handing over the item.
  • Keep communication within Zama Shops whenever possible.

Meet in Safe Locations

Arrange meetings during daylight hours and choose busy public places such as shopping malls, cafés or police-approved safe exchange locations whenever available.

Safe Payments

Never send advance payments to unknown individuals. Verify the item before paying and use secure payment methods whenever possible.

Protect Your Privacy

Do not share passwords, one-time verification codes (OTP), banking information or sensitive personal documents with anyone.

Avoid Scams

Be cautious of suspicious messages, fake payment confirmations, phishing attempts and users asking you to communicate outside the platform immediately.

Vehicle Safety

Verify registration documents, inspect the vehicle thoroughly and complete ownership transfer through the relevant government authorities before finalizing any transaction.

  • Verify original registration documents.
  • Match engine and chassis numbers.
  • Meet during daylight hours.

  • Verify ownership documents.
  • Visit the property before making any payment.
  • Confirm the seller's identity.
  • Complete legal verification before signing any agreement.

Business Safety

Businesses should verify suppliers, maintain proper invoices and ensure secure communication before entering commercial agreements.

Never share confidential company information before verifying the other party.

Chat Safely

Use respectful communication and avoid clicking suspicious links or downloading unknown files shared by other users.
