Marketplace Safety

Last updated: 2026-06-03

Waegook helps you connect, but you trade directly with other users. Please trade carefully.

Trade safely

• Meet in safe, busy public places (e.g. a subway station exit or café), preferably in daytime.
• Inspect the item and confirm details before paying.
• Avoid advance payments where possible — pay on pickup.
• Waegook does not hold money and does not provide escrow.
• Be extra careful with deposits, delivery-only deals, expensive electronics, jobs, housing, and services.
• A "Verified" badge or listing check reduces risk but does not guarantee a transaction.
• Never share passwords, verification codes, bank login details, or passport/ARC images, and never send large advance payments.
• Report scams or suspicious activity immediately.
