Safety

Bikkri.com is an online platform that connects buyers and sellers across Nepal. While we aim to provide a safe and efficient platform, it’s always wise to take certain precautions when conducting transactions. Below are some key safety guidelines. This is not an exhaustive list, so we recommend always using sound judgment and trusting your instincts.

Please note: Bikkri.com does not offer buyer protection.

Bikkri.com serves solely as a platform for user-posted ads. We are not involved in buying or selling activities nor do we act as intermediaries. Similar to newspaper classifieds, all ads on Bikkri.com are posted directly by users, who bear full responsibility for their ad content and actions, without any liability on our part.

Avoid Fraud and Scams

Do not assume that ad content and photos are accurate without confirmation. If you have any doubts, ask the poster for additional information. Stay aware of common scams and fraud practices. Be cautious of:

  • Sellers who provide incomplete or unverifiable contact information, such as a missing verified mobile number.
  • Ads that ask for advance payments or seem to promise “too good to be true” returns (such as high-interest investment schemes, lottery wins, or foreign employment opportunities).
  • Ads offering to sell stolen or imitation products at unusually low prices. If in doubt, ask the seller to provide proof of purchase, like a bill or warranty card.

Meet in Person and in a Public Place

Since you’ll likely be meeting a stranger, it’s important to gather information about the person before the meeting. Ask about their profession or workplace, and if needed, request an ID for verification.

  • Always meet buyers/sellers in public spaces (e.g., cafes, offices, or shops) where others are present.
  • Carry a mobile phone and consider taking a friend with you. Inform a family member or friend of your meeting details.
  • Avoid meeting at your home or isolated areas. If necessary, ensure you are not alone. If you sense anything suspicious, leave immediately.

Inspect Products Carefully

Make sure to examine the product physically before paying. Take your time during inspection and don’t feel pressured by the seller. If needed, consult with a knowledgeable friend or professional to ensure the product’s condition.

Exercise Caution with High-Value Items

For expensive items, meet the seller first to verify the product. Once you’re satisfied, visit an ATM if needed. We encourage using secure digital payment methods (IME Pay, eSewa, Khalti, Connect IPS, etc.) or bank transfers instead of cash. Confirm payment preferences with the seller before the meeting.

Avoid Non-Face-to-Face Transactions

Bikkri.com is designed for local trading, and face-to-face meetings are encouraged. If you must conduct a remote transaction, use bank transfers only. Never send cash or use remittance services. Always keep copies of deposit slips or electronic transaction records. Likewise, sellers should wait until payment is received before dispatching goods.

Report Suspicious Activities

If you encounter any fraud attempts or suspicious behavior, please report it to info@bikkri.com. For fraud or illegal activities, we recommend reporting it to local authorities and notifying us.
