Buying & selling safely

Simple habits that keep every trade on Vuxsy, Ireland's local marketplace, safe and smooth.

Meeting up

Meet in a busy, public place in daylight, bring a friend for higher-value items, and tell someone your plans. Trust your instincts.

Safe payments

Cash on collection is safest for local deals. Never share bank details, card numbers, one-time codes or your password, and beware of overpayment tricks.

Avoiding scams

Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true, buyers who won't meet, and anyone pushing you to another app. Keep contact on Vuxsy so it can be reviewed if needed.

Reporting problems

Use Report a Problem or the report option on a listing or chat. See our wider safety tips and Trust & Safety approach.
