Trust and safety

Safe deals, for buyers and sellers

Scrap is often sold at home, to someone you have not met. Here is how Scrap Exchange protects you, and what you can do to stay safe.

What we do

  • Sign-in codes

    A new phone or browser needs a code sent to you before it can open your account.
  • Chat without your number

    Agree everything in the app. Phone numbers are shared only if you choose, and only during a pickup.
  • Live pickups

    See where the buyer is and when they will arrive.
  • Weight on the record

    The weight and scale photos are recorded, and you confirm the final price.
  • Ratings and badges

    See ratings from past deals and badges such as a verified phone.
  • Reports and disputes

    Report users or listings at any time; open a dispute within 7 days of a deal.

Your part

Tips for every deal

Meet safely

  • Have someone at home with you
  • Meet at the door or in the courtyard, not inside
  • Check the buyer's ratings first

Weigh together

  • Watch the scale and note the reading
  • Agree the final price before loading
  • Don't confirm if the weight looks wrong

Check the money

  • Count cash in front of the buyer
  • Check JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank in the official app
  • Never trust an SMS or screenshot as proof
