Questions
Questions people ask.
The seller wants full payment first.
Ask for their Realr before you pay. It shows a real person with a checked ID. It does not guarantee delivery or get a payment back.
I’m selling and buyers think I’m a scam.
Send your Realr first. Buyers see your checks, then you can talk about the item and payment.
Can a “verified” screenshot be faked?
Yes. A screenshot of a badge is easy to edit. Open the link yourself and see the checks on Realr.
How do I know an online seller is real?
Ask for their Realr. It shows a real person with verified photos, which is much harder to fake than a screenshot of a badge.
What is the advance-payment scam?
The seller insists on full payment before shipping, then disappears with the money. An identity check is one part of checking a seller. It does not guarantee delivery or get a payment back.
How can a buyer and seller trust each other?
Swap Realr links before any money or goods move. Each of you sees that a real person is on the other end.
