Safety

This is a general advice only and does not substitute legal advice. Make sure and check if you are working on correct domain name which is “www.chillsell.ca”, Best way to deal is locally and in person, this will reduce the risk associated with your transaction while buying or selling. Meet at a public place and inspect the item before buying preferably in a day light. If you come across any item or service which is really cheap or well below average market price it may be counterfeit or low-quality product. Do not make payment unless you have met that person, try using cashless payment methods and try to avoid wire payment services or cashier/certified checks or money orders. Never give your personal and financial/banking information to anyone. Be careful of emails asking you to provide your personal information or financial information or asking to confirm your account or change your password that was not requested. Transactions are between user’s so It is your sole responsibility to do a safe and secure transaction whether buying or selling and transaction(s) must be in compliance with municipal, provincial/territorial and federal Canadian laws and chillsell.ca takes no responsibility and liability arising from the transaction(s). If you are defrauded by someone contact your local law enforcement or Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
