Safety Guidelines

Last updated: 2026-07-21

This is a plain-language draft for the Vymeros marketplace serving Canada and the United States. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer and does not constitute legal advice. Vymeros will publish a reviewed version before a full commercial launch.

Vymeros connects real people and businesses. These guidelines help you stay safe when meeting, paying and exchanging items.

Meet safely

  • Meet in a public, well-lit place with cameras (bank lobby, café, police-station “safe zone”).
  • Bring a friend for high-value items or vehicle inspections.
  • Trust your instincts — walk away if a situation feels unsafe.

Inspect before paying

  • Verify condition, serial numbers, IMEI, VIN and included accessories in person.
  • Test power-on for electronics, vehicles and machinery.
  • Confirm ownership documents (title, registration, invoices) when relevant.

Pay safely

  • Prefer traceable payments (bank e-transfer, verified card, escrow when available).
  • Do not pay in gift cards, wire transfers to strangers, or crypto to unverified wallets.
  • Never send payment before inspecting the item in person or through a trusted verified process.

Swap safely

  • Inspect both items carefully. Vymeros does not guarantee condition, authenticity, ownership or value.
  • Use the built-in Swap flow so both parties can confirm completion.
  • Take photos of items and receipts on exchange.

Protect your account

  • Use a strong, unique password.
  • Never share verification codes, one-time codes or passwords with anyone.
  • Report phishing messages and impersonation.

Watch for red flags

  • Prices far below market value with urgency (“must sell today”).
  • Requests to move the conversation off Vymeros immediately.
  • Unwillingness to meet in person or share basic verification.
  • Payment methods you can’t easily reverse.

If something goes wrong

  • Report the listing, user or conversation from within the app.
  • Contact support with any evidence you have.
  • For emergencies or crimes, contact local police first.
