Inspecting details & reviews can help prevent surprises and confirm that an item meets your needs. Stronger ratings & reviews indicate safer, more trustworthy sellers.

If you have questions/concerns about a product, Konga makes it easy to contact the seller before you buy -- just click the 'Message Seller' button.

Before you choose your payment method, take a second to check that your order contains the items and quantities you want.

Before you choose your payment method, check your contact details to make sure that you can be contacted about your delivery.

When you pay at checkout, Konga holds your payment (temporarily) before forwarding it to the seller & can protect you 100% if things somehow don't go as planned.

After you place your order, Konga will send you an order confirmation by both SMS and email. Check for communications about your order.

If you chose POD, do not pay before your item is delivered. If you're asked to pay before delivery for a POD order, contact Konga immediately at trustandsafety@konga.com.

After your item is delivered, you can help other buyers stay safe and choose the most trustworthy sellers by rating and reviewing your transaction.

Generally, Konga sellers have a remarkable track record. Most orders go wonderfully, but selling online may be new for some sellers and despite best efforts mistakes can sometimes happen. In the rare event things don’t go as planned, Konga has a number of teams working to help make things right. To contact us, email help@konga.com or call 0708 063 5700 or 01 460 5555

Paying for your order in advance means that you're covered by our Buyer Protection program. When you pay in advance to Konga, we hold your payment (temporarily) & don't release it to the seller until you have had a chance to bring up any issues. So when you pre-pay, Konga can protect you 100% if things somehow don't go as planned. If you choose to Pay on Delivery, the seller, not Konga, may have your funds and Konga may be less able to help

When you place an order, you trust the seller to deliver a quality product as described and on time. So Konga makes it easy for you to research both the item and the seller before you buy. You can read the item's description and check how past buyers rated and reviewed the seller and the item. When your order is delivered, we will ask you to rate and review the transaction and over time we remove lower performing sellers to make Konga safer for you

Konga has a formal Authentic Items Policy that prohibits the sale of counterfeit items, and our team continuously monitors items offered for sale. Sellers who are found to violate the policy may be banned from selling on Konga. If you suspect an item displayed on the website is not authentic, please contact trustandsafety@konga.com.

If you recently received your order and something is wrong, please email help@konga.com or call 0708 063 5700 or 01 460 5555 and provide details. Depending on the exact issue and whether you paid before delivery or paid on delivery, different resolutions can occur. But in all cases, Konga will offer support and will try to work with the seller to offer a resolution quickly, such as a repair, replacement, refund upon return, instant refund, or other form of compensation as applicable.

We take various actions to keep fraudulent individuals out of our community including requiring sellers to undergo verification before listing products, but you can avoid negative fraud-related experiences by

1) pre-paying and 2) not paying into seller accounts before delivery if you choose to Pay on Delivery (POD).

• Pre-pay for your order. A great way to safeguard against negative experiences with sellers is to pre-pay for your order online when you checkout. By doing so, Konga has control of your funds for a limited period and can more easily refund you if things happen to go wrong.

• If you choose POD, do not pay until you receive your order. If you choose the Pay on Delivery payment method, as a general rule, do not pay directly to sellers until you receive your order. If a seller requests that you pay into his/her account before your order is delivered, please contact trustandsafety@konga.com to verify. Konga advises that if you do internet bank transfers before delivery, you should pay only into the Konga accounts listed here.

If you feel that a seller is potentially fraudulent, please contact trustandsafety@konga.com

Konga has several processes in place to make sure sellers are safe and worthy of your trust. All sellers go through verification processes and we continuously monitor seller behavior. In addition, you can inspect a seller's ratings and reviews -- stronger ratings & reviews indicate safer, more trustworthy sellers. Finally, our more established sellers can be identified by a "verified premium seller" badge when you search for an item. Konga regularly updates the list of verified premium sellers to account for changing seller behavior. We take our responsibility to provide a safe marketplace very seriously, but sometimes bad behavior does happen. If you feel that a seller has violated your trust by misrepresenting an item or otherwise acting inappropriately, please contact trustandsafety@konga.com.

• interacting with us on Twitter or Facebook (so we can hear your feedback and suggestions directly)
