    COD ≠ SAFE

    • The parcel can contain a wrong or counterfeit product.
    • The seller may refuse returns after delivery.
    • Your contact and delivery data can still be misused.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED

    Know what the result means.

    Does a high score guarantee a seller is safe?

    No. A score summarizes public evidence available at the time of checking. It cannot guarantee fulfilment, product quality or future conduct.

    Is cash on delivery completely safe?

    No. COD limits advance-payment exposure, but wrong products, counterfeits and return problems can still happen.

    Can anyone report a seller?

    Yes. Reports should contain factual experiences and must not include passwords, card numbers or unnecessary private information.

    Does BeforeYouPay access private data?

    No. The live checker reviews public pages and public technical signals. It does not sign in to the seller’s systems.

    How is the score calculated?

    Business identity, domain history, website security, policies, payment methods and matching community reports are weighted together.
