Ask focused questions
Mention the listing and ask about availability, maintenance, known defects and inspection arrangements. Use in-app messages to keep the discussion together. Never rely on urgency, screenshots or a claimed verification badge as proof of ownership.
Protect private information
Avoid sending identity documents, banking details or unnecessary home addresses early in a conversation. Agree on a suitable inspection location after checking the other party. Treat unexpected payment links and requests to move immediately to another channel cautiously.
Record terms
Confirm price, included items, inspection conditions, title transfer and pickup or delivery arrangements in writing. For rentals, also confirm dates, insurance, deposits, use limits and return terms. An inquiry on Semsale is not a reservation or completed transaction.
Use independent checks
Verify vehicle identity, seller authority, title status and condition through appropriate records and professionals. Report concerning in-app conversations using the site’s reporting tools. Communication reviews describe interaction quality, not verified purchases or mechanical condition. We remove reviews only for abuse, spam, personal information, or legal reasons, never because they are negative.
