Trust & Safety
Every deal, protected by design
Fraud is the biggest threat to any marketplace. Here's how we keep Basyp a safe place to buy and sell.
Identity verification
Every account is verified by phone OTP before posting. Sellers can add a government ID to earn the Verified badge that buyers trust.
Private in-app chat
Negotiate entirely within Basyp. Your phone number and email stay hidden until you choose to share them.
AI fraud detection
Listings and images are automatically scanned for scams, duplicate posts, prohibited items and phishing links — around the clock.
Two-way ratings
Buyers and sellers rate each other after a deal, building a transparent, public reputation score.
