Safety rules
What reason motivates us to buy a used item? In the world of 2 and 4 wheels it is normal practice, so why not do it with many other objects?
When we buy a second-hand item, almost without realizing it, we are making an important choice. In practice we are purchasing a story, which belongs to the object and which has made it unique. We are creating a new story, giving the object a second life, all to be reinvented. Maybe we are choosing the object we love, the model we dreamed of and that seemed unattainable to us?
We are certainly doing a good deed towards our dear and irreplaceable planet, saving CO2 with every purchase. Yes, in fact, to produce any object, grams, kilos, but also (unfortunately) tons of CO2 are poured into the atmosphere which, as we know, is not the best for all of us. So why not opt for an existing object?
The used ones!!
The second hand economy is for all of us a way of being.
For this reason, every time you make a purchase of a used item, be proud of your choice, but also serene.
To buy a used item safely online, it only takes a few tricks and a bit of common sense. For this reason we have decided to write some small, but useful rules, to be applied to whatever you are buying, both online at our website or elsewhere:

To buy a used item safely online, it only takes a few tricks and a bit of common sense. For this reason we have decided to write some small, but useful rules, to be applied to whatever you are buying, both online at our website or elsewhere:
1) Read carefully the ad you are interested in, the more complete an ad is, the more reliable it is. If the person selling an item has something to hide, it usually remains vague and not detailed.
2) Search for information on the net, just to check if the details and images are true. If in doubt, ask the seller for information ... ask questions about the item in question.
3) Verify that the price is true. If an object is too cheap it is not always a good deal. Check that the price is not too low compared to the market, these tricks are easy to check on the net. It is true, sometimes people who sell something, even to get rid of it, they would make very favorable prices, but this is the usual exception.
4) If possible, exchange by hand. Agree with the seller for a meeting, in order to evaluate the object in person. If it is not to your liking, you can always refuse the deal.
5) Use the Lusavi.com chat or contact the seller through our message center. Be wary of unreliable communications. Remember that those who want to close the deal in a hurry usually have something they want to hide.
6) Protect your data and information. If not strictly necessary to complete the transaction, do not provide any personal data.
7) You cannot pay through the Lusavi.com website, but you can ask the seller if he/she would agree to get payd through our escrow service. You can see here how it works. In the event that the seller does not want to accept payment through our escrow service, we would advise you to be very carefull about the deal. This could be an attempted scam.
8) Choose traceable payment methods. If you don't want to use our escrow service, use a payment that is traceable. We do not recommend you to send payments via Western Union or MoneyGram.
9) There are no Lusavi.com lawyers who will ask you to pay sanctions or anything else on behalf of our company. If someone asks you for payments on our behalf, he is definitely a scammer.
10) Our escrow service is very useful for every kind of rental booking you will make trough our website, such as: holiday homes or apartments, rooms in guesthouses, B&Bs or private homes, hardware rentals, car rentals, cycle rentals and so on.
