Safety Tips
The golden rules for staying safe on PC Market — verified profiles, public meetings, test-before-pay and how to spot a scam.
PC Market is a marketplace for people, not just products. These safety habits protect you whether you are buying or selling — and they take two minutes to follow.
Red flags to watch for
- A price far below every comparable listing — it is a lure, not a deal
- Sellers who push you to communicate off-platform or pay 'to hold' the item
- Requests for bKash/Nagad payment before you have seen the product
- Stock photos instead of real photos of the actual item
- Sellers who refuse to let you test the product in person
Meeting safely
Always meet in a public place — a busy shopping complex, a known electronics shop or a police-box area. Bring a friend for high-value items, tell someone where you are going, and inspect the product before handing over any money.
Test before you pay
For used PCs, run a 10–20 minute stress test in front of the seller and check temperatures. For phones and laptops, check the battery health report and IMEI. A seller who refuses testing is telling you everything you need to know.
If something feels wrong
Trust your instincts and walk away. There will always be another listing — your money and your safety are not worth a deal.
