Safety Tips

Kampurse is built for trust — verification, escrow, and moderation. These habits keep you even safer.

Meet in public, busy places

For in-person pickups, meet in well-lit public spots on campus — faculty fronts, libraries, or student centres during the day. Avoid isolated locations and late-night meetups.

Trade with verified users

Prefer sellers with the Verified badge — they've passed matric and ID checks. Be extra cautious with unverified accounts asking for upfront payment.

Always pay through Kampurse

Keep every payment inside the platform so escrow protects you. Anyone asking for direct bank transfers to 'skip fees' is a red flag — report them.

Inspect before you confirm

Check the item against its listing before confirming receipt. Once you confirm, escrow releases and refunds become much harder.

Keep chats on the platform

Negotiate and agree details in Kampurse messages so there's a record if a dispute arises. Be wary of anyone rushing you off-platform.

Report anything suspicious

Counterfeit goods, bait-and-switch listings, harassment, or payment fraud — report the user or listing and contact us with details.

Something feel wrong?

Don't complete the transaction. Keep your evidence (chats, photos, receipts) and tell us right away.
