TradeHut

Trust & safety

Buy and sell with confidence

Here is how TradeHut helps keep the marketplace safe, and what you can do to protect yourself.

How we help keep you safe

  • Seller verification

    Sellers complete a verification step before they list. Check a seller's profile before you buy.

    Seller requirements
  • Pay at checkout

    Paying through the TradeHut checkout keeps your order on record, so there is something to review if a problem comes up.

    Buyer protection
  • Dispute process

    If an order goes wrong, you can open a dispute and add evidence. Both sides are heard before a decision.

    Dispute centre
  • Report a problem

    Flag a suspicious listing, seller or message and it will be reviewed.

    Report a problem
  • Account security

    Keep your account secure with a strong password and review your sign-in settings from your account.

    Security settings
  • Clear rules for sellers

    Prohibited items and seller standards are published, and listings that break them are removed.

    Safety & compliance

Stay safe online

A few habits make the biggest difference to your safety.

  • Pay only through the TradeHut checkout. Never send money to a seller outside the platform.
  • Never share your password or one-time codes, even with someone who says they work for TradeHut.
  • Keep messages with sellers on TradeHut so they can be used as evidence.
  • Read the listing and the seller's return policy before you buy.
  • Check your order as soon as it arrives and raise any problem straight away.
  • If an offer looks too good to be true, report it before you pay.
