Tips for transacting safely on Qoo10 | No of Scam Reports: | |
Verification of seller identity | All sellers on Qoo10 are identified and verified by the platform through the collection and verification of official identification or business registration documents (e.g. ACRA/ACRA-equivalent details, NRIC). We have recently added on a new security verification where sellers are required to register via Singpass. This is to ensure that they are genuine sellers and will abate the number of duplicated registration. Consumers are able to refer to a seller’s profile page to see the seller’s ratings, as well as their rank and reviews received from customers. | |
Use of in-platform secure payment solutions | Qoo10 provides an in-platform secure escrow payment service for all transactions. All payments made within the platform are collected and temporarily held by Qoo10 until the order is successfully fulfilled. Qoo10 will only release the money to the seller after the buyer has confirmed the receipt of the item. You can safeguard your transactions by always transacting within the Qoo10 platform, and report any sellers that request to transact off-platform. We monitor the listings which induce indirect transactions, and will penalize and suspend those who do so. | |
Maintenance of transaction records and user data | Qoo10 maintains records of transactions and communications performed within the platform. You can do your part by keeping all transactions and communications within the platform. This ensures all relevant transaction records are available to facilitate subsequent investigation and dispute resolution should the need arise. | |
