Buyers are encouraged to buy from verified sellers for a safer experience.
Why It Matters: Verified sellers are more trustworthy. If you are scammed by an unverified seller, Skutus support may be limited.
Sellers must list products honestly and clearly.
Good Example:
Product: iPhone 13 Pro (128GB)
Condition: Slightly used, battery 95%
Price: $700
Delivery: 2 days
Bad Example: "Phone for sale – cheap price!" (No details, no pictures)
Rules: Upload clear images, state correct price, size, color, delivery date, and avoid fake descriptions.
Tips for Safe Buying:
Avoid: ❌ Paying strangers upfront, ❌ Ignoring product details, ❌ Sharing your PIN/password in chat.
Fraud is strictly prohibited. Offenders will face:
Examples of Fraud: Taking money without delivering, selling fake/stolen products, creating fake accounts to scam buyers.
Skutus reviews products before listing to reduce scams, but we cannot guarantee 100% scam-free experience.
Example: A laptop listed for $400 may be verified for existence and pricing, but buyers should still confirm details themselves.
Allow location access to see sellers near you.
Example: Searching for "Shoes" in Lagos will show sellers within your area first. You can filter by distance (e.g., within 5km).
Good Chat: "Hi, can you confirm size 40 and delivery date before I pay?"
Bad Chat: "I want this. Here is my card number." (Never share sensitive payment info!)
Skutus operates its own official stores:
These are directly managed by Skutus for a safer shopping experience.
If a seller refuses to deliver after payment:
Note: Resolution is not 100% guaranteed but we will do our best.
Skutus is a platform connecting buyers & sellers, not always the direct seller.
Always double-check product details, read reviews, and communicate clearly before payment.
