Anything Marketplace

Anything Marketplace is committed to helping users buy and sell safely. This guide provides important information to help buyers protect themselves when using the Anything Marketplace platform.

Anything Marketplace Pty Ltd (“Anything Marketplace”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates an online marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of vehicles, machinery, equipment and other goods.

Transactions occur directly between buyers and sellers.

1. Our Role as a Marketplace

Anything Marketplace provides a platform that allows users to advertise items and communicate with potential buyers or sellers.

We do not:

• own the items listed

• verify ownership of items

• guarantee the accuracy of listings

• handle payments between buyers and sellers

• guarantee that sellers are legitimate

• inspect or certify items.

For this reason, buyers must take reasonable steps to verify sellers and listings before proceeding with any transaction.

2. Buyer Responsibilities

Before purchasing any item listed on Anything Marketplace, buyers should:

Verify the Seller

Confirm the seller’s identity and contact details where possible.

If the seller claims to represent a business or dealership, check:

• business name

• ABN registration

• website presence

• contact information.

Inspect the Item

Whenever possible, inspect the item in person before making payment.

If you cannot inspect the item personally, consider using:

• an independent inspector

• a mechanic

• a trusted third party.

Check Ownership

For vehicles, machinery or equipment, you should confirm that the seller legally owns the item.

You may wish to conduct a Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) search to check if the item:

• has finance owing

• is reported stolen

• has a security interest.

3. Payment Safety

To reduce the risk of fraud:

• avoid sending deposits before verifying the item and seller

• avoid wire transfers to unknown individuals

• avoid unusual payment methods requested by sellers

• avoid sending payment to overseas bank accounts unless verified

• keep records of all communications and payments.

If a deal appears suspicious or too good to be true, proceed with caution.

4. Common Online Marketplace Scams

Scammers sometimes attempt to use online marketplaces to defraud buyers.

Examples include:

Deposit Scams

A seller asks for a deposit to secure an item that does not exist.

Fake Listings

Images are copied from other websites to create fake listings.

Payment Redirection

A scammer attempts to redirect payment to a different account.

Urgency Scams

The seller pressures buyers to pay quickly before the item is sold.

Overseas Seller Scams

The seller claims the item is located overseas and asks for shipping payments.

If you encounter these behaviours, do not proceed with the transaction.

5. Reporting Suspicious Listings

If you believe a listing may be fraudulent or misleading, please report it immediately.

You can report suspicious activity by contacting:

Reports help us maintain a safe marketplace for all users.

6. Marketplace Disclaimer

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

Anything Marketplace is not responsible for:

• the accuracy of listings

• the conduct of sellers or buyers

• the condition or legality of listed items

• any transaction between users

• losses or damages arising from marketplace transactions.

Buyers and sellers use the platform at their own risk.

Anything Marketplace strongly encourages users to conduct their own due diligence before entering into any transaction.

7. Fraud Prevention Measures

Anything Marketplace may implement measures to reduce fraud, including:

• monitoring suspicious activity

• reviewing reported listings

• suspending accounts involved in suspicious activity

• cooperating with law enforcement where appropriate.

However, no online marketplace can completely eliminate the risk of fraud.

Users must remain vigilant when buying or selling online.

8. Law Enforcement

If you believe you have been the victim of fraud or a scam, you may wish to report the matter to:

Scamwatch (Australian Competition & Consumer Commission)
https://www.scamwatch.gov.au

or your local police.
