Non-negotiable

The 5 golden safety rules

Zero advance fees

Never pay a holding fee, delivery token or waybill deposit. Pay strictly after touching the item in person.

Daylight only

Schedule transactions between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Decline night invitations to deserted campus quarters.

Bring a wingmate

When inspecting high-value items like phones, generators or laptops, go along with a roommate or course friend.

Plug in and test thoroughly

Test chargers, sound ports and heating coils before authorising any transfer. Never accept “it's working, trust me”.

Report imposters

Non-students advertising, or sellers pressuring you off-platform, can be reported for immediate review and suspension.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Why is there no “Buy Now” or card payment button?

DUBYMART is a physical, peer-to-peer campus marketplace — not a remote ecommerce store. We deliberately avoid online card payments, wallets and escrow to protect students from delivery fraud and fake chargebacks. You inspect the product in person on campus, confirm you want it, and pay the seller directly.

What if a seller insists on a transfer before meeting?

Never pay advance tokens. Anyone who demands “commitment money” or “transport fare” before showing up is violating community policy. Stop chatting, use the report option on their listing, and our student moderation team will review it.

Who is eligible to post listings?

Only currently registered ESUT students can post. Anyone can browse anonymously, but messaging a seller or posting items requires an active, verified student account.

How are student accounts verified?

During registration, students confirm eligibility through a departmental student email or by uploading an approved student credential. Once reviewed, a verified badge is shown on their profile.

Are student freelance services allowed?

Yes. DUBYMART has a dedicated Student Services & Skills category for graphic design, CAD drafting, laptop repairs, tutoring and more. You post your service portfolio just like a physical item.
