  3. 3Ask your questions there, and agree the details before you travel or pay.

Buying and selling safely

Payments
Ceylon Chat does not handle marketplace payments. Nothing is held in escrow and there is no buyer protection.
Meeting
Meet in a busy public place in daylight, and bring someone with you for larger items.
Deposits
Be careful with requests for a deposit before you have seen an item.
Suspicious listings
Use Report on the listing, or report the seller's profile.
