Safety tips

Meet in daylight and bring someone

Arrange collection during the day and take a friend if you can, especially for home collections.

Inspect before you pay

Check measurements, frames, fabric and any woodworm or damage in person, and ask for extra photos beforehand.

Avoid unusual payment requests

Be wary of anyone asking for deposits by gift card, cryptocurrency or bank transfer before you have seen the item.
