Safety tips

Most deals on Etesen go well. These habits keep it that way.

Before you pay

• See the item in person. Switch phones on, try electronics, check for damage.
• Never send money, "deposits" or "delivery fees" to someone you have not met. Real sellers let you inspect first.
• Be careful of prices far below the usual. If it is too good to be true, it usually is.
• Check phones for a lock or a blocked IMEI, and ask for the receipt or box where there is one.

When you meet

• Meet in a busy public place, in daylight, such as a mall or a bank forecourt.
• Tell a friend where you are going. Bring someone if you can.
• Do not go to a stranger's home or let a stranger come to yours for a first meeting.

Paying

• Prefer cash in hand or a MoMo transfer you make yourself after inspecting the item.
• Do not approve MoMo prompts you did not start, and never share your PIN or login code.
• Etesen staff will never ask for your PIN or a login code.

If something looks wrong

Use "Report this listing" on the listing page. If you have been defrauded or threatened, contact the Ghana Police Service as well.
