Classifieds have a scam problem because they were built as anonymous, hands-off listing boards. Bazaaro adds the checks that actually help: verified profiles, reviews you can only leave after a real deal, and scam warnings built into every chat.
Bazaaro does not hold your money or offer escrow — trades are completed in person — so the safest habits are still the simple ones: meet in public, inspect first, and never pay in advance.
Bazaaro verifies emails, limits reviews to people who completed a real deal, flags common scam patterns inside chat, and lets you block and report anyone. Removals and suspensions are reviewed by a person and can be appealed.
No. Bazaaro does not hold money or provide escrow. The best protection is to meet in a public place, inspect the item first, and never pay before you have it in hand.
A verified badge means the person confirmed their email address. It is not a government-ID or identity check.
Open Safety isn't a feature. It's the whole point. on Bazaaro
