BSV Search provides offers from people and businesses who submit them to this website. We do not certify or verify who they are. We are not involved in whatever transactions may take place between two people about the items posted here. We encourage people to take basic precautions when dealing with people they do not know, some of which are mentioned below:
- When you need to meet with people to exchange goods and transfer payments, meet with people in a public area or, if possible, near a police station.
- Before you buy from someone, check out their profile so you know the person making the offer before you decide to transact with them. The scrutiny you apply depends on what they are offering. You might care less if you are buying a box of old books than if you were buying a car or a motorcycle, where the government establishes a process on how such sales are to take place.
- Transacting in BSV is no different from agreeing to exchange one thing for another (unless under dictatorships and authoritarian regimes explicitly prohibiting the use of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies). You can write contracts and agreements.
- Therefore, when practical - like in cases of sales of expensive items - write an agreement. This agreement should provide details of both parties, including their names and addresses, to evidence that a transaction is taking place. Emails and communications of this are useful in proving details of the intentions of the people transacting.
- Having a contract/agreement evidenced by signatures, and third parties, including notaries when appropriate, are helpful if one party needs to assert their rights because the other person did not fulfil their side of the bargain.
