Trust & Safety

Campus trades are usually simple — these habits keep them that way.

Inspect before paying

Always test electronics and check tools physically before handing over money.

Meet in public campus spots

Main gate, library or academic area during daytime. Never share exact room numbers publicly.

Never share passwords or OTPs

No one from Campus Buy & Sell will ever ask for an OTP or your password.

Don't pay in advance

Avoid sending money before verifying the seller and the item in person.

Report suspicious activity

Use Report Listing or Report User — moderators review every report.

Institutional email required

All users must sign in with an @svnit.ac.in institutional email to trade.

Contact details like phone numbers and email addresses are never shown publicly. All first contact happens through in-app messaging.
