Staying safe on Kemster

Meet safely

• Meet in a busy public place or an agreed safe spot.

• Tell someone where you are going and avoid meeting alone when possible.

• Inspect an item before completing the exchange.

Pay carefully

Pay on collection after you have checked the item. Be suspicious of pressure to pay deposits, gift cards, cryptocurrency or fees outside the agreed price.

Spot scams

Watch for prices that are too good to be true, copied photos, rushed stories, requests for verification codes, and links asking for passwords or card details.

Report and block

Use Kemster's report and block tools when a person or post seems unsafe, or contact support with a link and a short description. Do not continue a conversation that makes you uncomfortable. In an emergency, contact local authorities.

Delivery and cross-border deals

If shipping, ask for a trackable method and agree who pays for delivery, customs and returns before paying. Do not rely on screenshots of payment confirmations; verify funds through your payment provider.
