Safety Tips

Your safety matters. While Build Mat Mart connects buyers and sellers, transactions are ultimately between users. Follow these guidelines to help ensure a safe and smooth experience.

🤝 Meet Safely

  • Arrange to meet in well-lit, public or active locations where possible
  • Avoid isolated areas, especially for high-value transactions
  • Let someone know where you’re going when meeting a buyer or seller

Inspect Before You Buy

🔍 Inspect Before You Buy

  • Always inspect materials before completing the transaction
  • Check condition, quantity, and suitability for your project
  • Ask questions if anything is unclear

💳 Choose the Right Payment Method

  • Use Secure Payment for added protection on higher-value items
  • Only use Direct or Off-Platform payments if you are confident in the seller
  • Be cautious of requests for unusual payment methods

🚫 Avoid Scams

  • Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true
  • Avoid sellers or buyers who pressure you to act quickly
  • Do not share sensitive personal or financial information

📍 Keep Communication on the Platform

  • Use the platform messaging system where possible
  • This helps keep a record of conversations and agreements

  • Report suspicious listings or users through the platform
  • Contact support if you need assistance

🧱 For Sellers

  • Clearly describe materials and condition
