Check the asking price
If the price in the description is different from the headline price, ask for clarification before arranging anything.
DID YOU KNOW?
Ask better questions before a deal.
Practical reminders for local residents and foreigners living in the Philippines. A listing is an introduction, not a guarantee.
See what is being offered
Ask for current photos, condition details and a chance to inspect a valuable item or property in a safe setting.
Verify who you are dealing with
For a home, vehicle or job, verify the seller or advertiser's authority through independent sources. Do not rely on a profile or chat alone.
Keep payment in your hands
Bayan Finds will not hold a deposit or payment. Be wary of anyone claiming you must pay the website to unlock a deal.
Watch for pressure
A demand to decide immediately or move to an unfamiliar payment channel is a reason to slow down and check the facts.
Share less until you trust more
Give only the contact and personal details needed for a conversation. Avoid sending identity documents to unverified strangers.
