4 Simple Steps to Buy Safely

Follow these steps every time for a smooth, secure purchase

01

Browse & Search

Use the search bar or browse by category to discover thousands of listings across Liberia. Filter by location, price range, and condition to find exactly what you need.

Set your location to see nearby listings first
Use the category browser for curated item feeds
Check the "Verified Seller" badge for extra trust
Save listings to your wishlist to revisit later
💡 Pro Tip:Turn on location in your browser to see local listings closest to you first — so you can meet sellers in minutes, not hours.
02

Contact the Seller

Tap "Show Contact" or send a chat message directly to the seller. Ask about the item's condition, exact location, and your preferred meeting time before committing.

Ask for additional photos if needed
Confirm the item is still available
Negotiate the price politely before meeting
Agree on a specific meeting location upfront
💬 Smart Move:Always communicate through Martiva's in-app chat so there's a record of the conversation. This protects you if any dispute arises.
03

Meet Safely & Inspect

Arrange a meetup in a busy, public location — like a supermarket, petrol station, or police station. Inspect the item in full detail before handing over any money.

Always meet during daytime in a public place
Bring a trusted friend for expensive purchases
Test electronics before paying — switch it on
Inspect clothing, furniture for hidden damage
⚠️ Safety Warning:Never pay in advance or send money before seeing the item. Never send MoMo to a stranger before the meetup — scammers use this tactic. Pay only after inspecting.
04

Pay & Leave a Review

Once you're happy with the item, complete the payment in person. Then head back to Martiva and leave an honest review — it helps other buyers and rewards great sellers.

Prefer paying by cash in person for safety
Take a short video when handing over money
Rate the seller honestly (1–5 stars)
Mention the item's real condition in your review
⭐ Build the Community:Your review takes 30 seconds and helps thousands of other Liberian buyers. Good sellers deserve recognition — and scammers get exposed.
