DON'T BUY
FROM PHOTOS ONLY
On OnlyDeal, start with the product video, then check the seller, details, and OnlyProtect options.
Ask for a clear clip with the product powered on, watch for visible defects, check the IMEI for phones, and use OnlyProtect when the listing is eligible.
Checks before messaging
Do not rely on perfect photos. Watch the video, ask for clear angles, compare the description with what appears in the clip, and use OnlyProtect for eligible phones.
OnlyProtect for eligible phones
For protected orders, OnlyProtect can check the IMEI, declared condition, and delivery steps before completion.
