SAFE SHOPPING
Essential safety tips for shopping through the LitBuy spreadsheet. Learn to verify sellers, use payment protection, and avoid common scams.
Payment Protection
Always use PayPal Goods and Services or credit cards with chargeback rights. These payment methods provide buyer protection if items are not delivered or do not match descriptions. Never send money via Friends and Family, wire transfer, or cryptocurrency for your first purchases.
Seller Verification
Only purchase from sellers linked within the official LitBuy spreadsheet. Each seller has a verification badge indicating their transaction history and community rating. New sellers are marked with a probationary tag until they accumulate sufficient verified orders.
Avoiding Scams
The most common scam involves sellers contacting buyers directly via WhatsApp or Instagram with 'better prices' outside the spreadsheet. These are almost always fraudulent. Never respond to unsolicited seller messages. Always initiate contact through official spreadsheet links.
