Buying and selling Clothes, Footwear & Accessories in Marks Gate, London

Shopping for clothes, footwear & accessories in Marks Gate, London on Adsquare? Here's what to look for before you hand over any money.

Most private sales go smoothly, but a little preparation protects both sides. As a seller, accurate photos and an honest description save everyone time and avoid disputes later. As a buyer, you're never obliged to buy on the spot - a genuine seller won't mind you taking a moment to check an item over properly first.

• Compare the asking price against similar listed items - prices far below the norm are usually a red flag.
• For bulky items, check access and delivery/collection arrangements before agreeing a price.
• Test any electrical or mechanical item thoroughly rather than taking the seller's word for its condition.
• Agree collection or delivery details in writing (message/email) so there's a record if anything goes wrong.
