Safety
Safety and offline payment guidance
Hocalist is designed to make local buying coordination clearer. Buyers and sellers still need to use good judgment when meeting and arranging offline payment.
Practical guidance
Use these checks before you meet, inspect, or pay offline.
Each card keeps the advice plain and action-focused, while the boundary note explains what Hocalist can and cannot do inside the marketplace.
02Item check
Inspect before paying
Confirm condition, authenticity, and included items before handing over money.
03Payment
Avoid unknown deposits
Do not send deposits to unknown parties before inspection and agreement.
04Records
Keep records clear
Use chat to confirm agreed details, timing, condition, and meetup expectations.
05Signals
Report suspicious behavior
Contact support if a user pressures you, changes terms, or acts unsafely.
06Boundary
Understand the boundary
Hocalist facilitates discovery and coordination only. It does not guarantee transaction outcomes.
Report a concern
Need Hocalist to review a safety issue?
Email support with the request, offer, chat, profile, or seller plan details that help explain what happened. Hocalist can review marketplace conduct and account concerns, while item payment disputes remain between buyer and seller.
