Buying used items through classifieds is normal across Pakistan — from mobiles in Karachi to cars in Lahore and furniture in Islamabad. A few habits reduce risk dramatically.

Prefer chatting inside MEGO before sharing personal numbers. Ask for more photos or a short video. Meet in busy public places, or bring someone with you for high-value deals.

Never send advance payments to unknown sellers for "shipping" or "reservation fees". If a price is far below market, verify carefully. Use Report on any suspicious listing.

On MEGO you can browse by city, filter by category, and message sellers directly. Always verify the item in person before paying the full amount.
