How to make a safer online purchase
- Avoid taking the conversation to messaging apps and ask all your questions through the chat and official channels of the platforms. This way, you have OLX support and contextualized tips throughout your journey;
- Do not disclose your personal data or phone number;
- Be wary of prices or offers well below the market value;
- Check on the platform information about the seller, such as account age, company registration, if applicable, and licenses;
- OLX offers the option OLX Guarantee, a service through which it is possible to pay for the purchase through the platform, without the need to make transfers to third parties. Once the payment is confirmed by OLX, the buyer receives a confirmation message directly in the ad chat;
- Always ask for the item’s invoice you are negotiating. This way, there is certainty of the product’s legality and, if it is still under warranty, it is possible to access official technical support;
- In the case of an in-person purchase or delivery, choose public and busy places, such as squares, shopping malls, or metro stations. If possible, always go accompanied by another adult;
- OLX does not have partnerships with mobility apps, such as Uber, Rappi, and 99. For sales and purchases with OLX Guarantee, deliveries work throughout Brazil via Correios, Jadlog, Clique e Retire, Loggi, and R3 Transportes. Always check, in the logged area of the website or app, your sales history and how your product will be shipped;
- OLX never requests confirmation codes or security codes, whether by phone, email, chat, or messaging apps. If you receive any contact on behalf of OLX requesting any code or password, report it on the platform;
- OLX does not send emails with attachments or links that redirect outside the platform. If you receive any communication of this type, do not download any documents and do not click on the links.
