Always use common sense when buying or selling. Below are some guidelines that may help when selling goods through classified ads.
- Do not hand over goods until having received full payment.
- Never trust an unknown person who contacts you and claims to put you in touch with interested buyers for an advance fee.
Payment
- Cash is the easiest payment method, but unsuitable for large amounts.
- Use a bank draft for large amounts. Always verify the bank draft with the issuing bank before handing over the goods. Either call the bank, or go in to one of their branches.
- Never accept foreign cheques or bank drafts as payment.
Selling a Vehicle?
When you sell a vehicle you must register the change of ownership. The Government web site Citizens Information website has all the information you need.
