Furniture Selling Safety Guide
Last updated: 17 July 2026
Instructions Step-by-Step
1
Verify Cleared Funds
If a buyer pays via bank transfer, check your official bank app or statement to confirm the funds have cleared. Do not rely on screenshots or incoming SMS notifications, which can be spoofed.
2
Do Not Accept Pending Payments
Treat pending, scheduled, reversed, or screenshot-only payments as incomplete.
3
Arrange Safe inspections
Meet in a location where you are comfortable and avoid sharing unnecessary personal information.
4
Beware of Delivery scams
Avoid buyers who ask you to pay transport fees, insurance, or courier deposits upfront.
5
Understand Privacy Policies
Messages are retained for dispute resolution and legal compliance according to FurnitureKaro's policies. Keep communications on-platform.
Important Notes
- Never share your password, account verification codes, or OTPs with anyone.
- Buyers and sellers arrange inspection, negotiation, payment, pickup, and transportation directly.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Releasing the furniture before verifying that the transfer has cleared in your account statement.
- Allowing buyers access to private areas of your home without supervision.
Troubleshooting
- If a buyer claims they sent too much money and asks for a refund of the difference, verify your bank statement. This is a common refund scam.
- If a buyer becomes aggressive or pushy, block their profile and report the chat to support.
