Trust & Safety
Practical guidance to keep your money and your identity safe on resale.bd.
Common scams to avoid
- • Advance bKash/Nagad transfer of any kind. resale.bd never holds money — pay only at handover.
- • "Courier OTP" requests — never share your OTP. Couriers don't need it.
- • Too-cheap iPhones / laptops — verify IMEI, demand in-person inspection.
- • Fake screenshots of bank deposits. Confirm directly in your app.
- • Pressure to chat off-platform (WhatsApp-only sellers) — you lose dispute protection.
Buy safely
- • Read the AI Scam Shield risk badge on the listing before you travel.
- • Meet sellers in a public, well-lit place. Police-station car parks are a common safe-meet spot in Dhaka.
- • Inspect the item fully — power it on, check serial numbers, run a diagnostics app for phones / laptops.
- • Verify NID-verified status before sending any money.
- • Keep all communication inside resale.bd chat for dispute evidence.
Banned items
- • Counterfeit goods (fake brand-name phones, watches, bags).
- • Stolen items, smuggled goods, fake currency.
- • Weapons, ammunition, explosives.
- • Drugs, alcohol, tobacco, betel-nut products.
- • Wildlife, ivory, endangered species.
- • Adult / explicit content.
- • Government-issued documents (NID cards, passports).
- • Anything illegal under Bangladeshi law.
Report & refund
See a listing or seller that looks fraudulent? Click the Report button on any listing or seller profile. Our moderation team responds within 24 hours for high-risk reports.
resale.bd never holds your money, so we cannot refund a deal — you pay the seller directly at handover. What we can do, and do fast: suspend the listing, freeze the seller's other ads, and hand you a dated evidence log of the listing and chat that you can take to a police GD. Report within 48 hours of the deal for the strongest evidence trail.
