Safety Tips
Best practices for buying and selling safely on Reswell
Reswell is built on trust. Following these tips helps keep you and the community safe when meeting up, shipping, or paying for gear.
Keep conversations in Reswell messages so we have a record. Avoid moving to external email or text for payment or pickup details until you’re comfortable.
For local pickup, choose a well-lit, public location (e.g. coffee shop, parking lot). Avoid inviting strangers to your home or going to theirs for the first meetup.
For surfboards and high-value gear, inspect the item in person before paying. Check for dings, delamination, or wear that wasn’t clear in the listing.
Paying with Reswell Bucks keeps the transaction on the platform and makes it easier for us to help if something goes wrong. Be cautious with off-platform payment requests.
Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true, sellers who pressure you to pay outside the app, or anyone who refuses to meet in person for local pickup when that was agreed.
