i suggest u take pics/screenshots of ur box, bill , id proof of buyer etc for potential future stuff
i always keep my bills and boxes even if i sell the phone/device and an id proof

And how can i sure if the seller will not misuse the id(xerox)? I mean getting a sim card, registering a cafe etc with that id...
So i think it is not advisable to give the id to dealing with such unknown person or websites.

Just post ad on Olx & Quikr both.
Try to sell at local shops, friends, acquaintances also.

If You get call for checking phone, deal at a safer place.

I have purchased a cell phone via quikr.
No Problem.
I asked the seller about his authenticity.
He is friend now !
LOL !

But beware,
I was tried to fool by few sellers as the mobile was not good.
I Checked it properly
as I know how to check.
I check all the functions.

You can take Pic of his ID by your mobile-
like Driving Licence, I card, Voter Icard, Aadhar Card.

Safety Tips

There is no definite way to identify a fraudulent seller or buyer. We urge you to practice good judgement and keep the following tips in mind:
Tips for Buyers:

Buy locally so you can inspect the item, meet the seller, and pay at the time of pickup or delivery. Remember to use a safe location to meet.
The best way to transact is to exchange the item and payment at the same time.
Ask for clear information on condition of the good, price, payment and delivery method.
Use only those payment methods that you trust and are familiar with.
Ask the seller for a tracking number if the product is being shipped.
Get a verifiable telephone number for the seller.
In case of electronic goods, cars, and bikes you should test the functioning of the product before purchase.
Do your research on comparative prices for the product.
Do not share your financial information.
Always use the "Email Seller" to get in touch with the seller. This will help us notify you immediately if we are made aware of any fraudulent activities by the seller.

Tips for Sellers:

It's preferable to take the full payment at the time of the delivery. Remember to use a safe location to meet.
Verify the buyer credentials if there is a request for a bulk order.
Get a verifiable telephone number from the buyer.
Ensure that your product meets the features you list in your ad post to avoid misunderstandings with buyer.
Do not share your financial information except the one required for payment.

What should I do if I suspect someone to be fraudulent buyer or seller?

Please contact us at Legal Issues, if you suspect someone to be acting fraudulently on OLX. We also urge you to notify the Police immediately if you have been a victim of fraud.
What kind of ad posts are forbidden / not allowed on OLX?

OLX prohibits the listing or sale of any item that is illegal under any applicable national or international law.
Disclaimer:

OLX never mediates between the seller and the buyer. If any individual or website claiming to be from OLX offers to help with your transaction as an agent or broker then do not take up the offer.

All OLX communication will use either olx.com or olx.in domain. We advise you to practice caution and inform OLX Legal Issues immediately if you get an email claiming to be from OLX but using a different domain name.
