Trust signals for local exchange

Before you agree

Check item photos, condition, profile context and the proposed meeting details. Avoid pressure, payment links or requests to move the exchange into risky channels.

For high-value exchanges

Use extra verification, compare market value and keep clear written terms. When an escrow or protected flow is available, use it for sensitive trades.

How Skippis handles reports

Every profile and listing can be reported, and any member can block another to stop further contact. Reported content is reviewed and removed when it breaks the rules, and accounts linked to repeated abuse can be restricted. Keeping conversations and agreements inside Skippis means there is a clear record if a report is ever needed.

• Report a listing or profile that looks misleading, unsafe or fraudulent.
• Block a user to immediately stop messages and hide their listings from you.
• Restricted and removed content is the result of policy review, not automated guesswork.

If an exchange goes wrong

Stop the handover if conditions change, the item does not match the listing, or you feel pressured. Keep your messages, take photos of the item and the agreement, and contact support so the case can be reviewed. For payments, documents or vehicles, finish verification before any money or ownership changes hands.

Tips before you start

Add clear photos, an honest condition note and your city so the right people find your listing fast. Decide upfront whether you want to sell, swap, trade or donate, agree on the exact terms in writing, and keep messages inside Skippis so there is a clear record before you meet in a public place.
