How to Verify a Seller Before Making a Purchase
Not every seller on IzanDeals is who they appear to be. Here are the steps to verify a seller before you hand over any money.
Most sellers on IzanDeals are genuine and trustworthy. But taking a few minutes to verify a seller before a large purchase is always worth it.
Check Their Listing History
Click on the seller name to see all their listings. How many have they posted? Do the listings seem consistent — or is it a brand-new account with an expensive single listing? New accounts with only one high-value listing deserve extra scrutiny.
Video Call Before Meeting
For high-value items, ask the seller for a video call to see the item in real time. A genuine seller will have no objection to this. It also confirms you are dealing with a real person.
Search Their Phone Number
Copy the WhatsApp number from the listing and search it on Google. Scammers often reuse the same number across multiple platforms and complaints may appear in search results.
Ask for Proof of Purchase
For electronics, ask the seller for the original receipt. They may not have it, but asking shows you are an informed buyer and puts illegitimate sellers on notice.
Use Your Gut
If something feels wrong — if responses are slow, evasive or overly pushy — walk away. There are thousands of listings on IzanDeals. The right seller's out there.
