Marketplace basics

Use truthful listings, respectful communication, real reviews, and lawful goods or services only.

Attempts to bypass platform payment rules, manipulate trust signals, or mislead other users create risk for the whole marketplace and can lead to restrictions.

Fraud prevention

Be cautious with offers that seem too good to be true, pressure to pay outside IVOTIA, identity impersonation, or urgent refund tricks.

When in doubt, preserve evidence, stop sharing sensitive details, and report the situation early rather than after funds or trust have already been lost.
