# How to Choose a Trustworthy Seller 

> Simple checks to help you pick the right seller and avoid common pitfalls before buying.

All partnered sellers on GameBoost are manually reviewed and vetted before they're allowed to list on the platform. Still, a few quick checks on your end can help you pick the right offer with confidence.

# Step By Step Guide

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start With the Seller Profile" stepNumber={1} titleSize="h2">
    Before you buy, open the seller's store page and review:

    * Ratings and reviews
    * Buyer feedback and consistency
    * Any patterns: repeat complaints, delivery issues, or unclear communication

    > 💡 Don't rely on a single review. Look for consistency across multiple orders.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check Whether the Offer Is Clearly Explained" stepNumber={2} titleSize="h2">
    A trustworthy seller isn't just highly rated: their listings are also clear and specific. Before purchasing, confirm the description states:

    * **What you're receiving** (and what you're not)
    * **Any requirements from you**: account details, region, platform, etc.
    * **Delivery method and time**: how it's done and what to expect

    > 💡 If something matters to you (region, rank, skins, platform, delivery speed), make sure it's stated in the listing before you order. If the listing is vague, that's usually a sign to move on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Keep communication and delivery on GameBoost" titleSize="h2">
    For full protection, keep everything on official channels:

    * Use **"Chat with Seller"** for pre-purchase questions when available
    * After purchase, use the **order chat** for all order-related communication

    Avoid moving to Discord, WhatsApp, or Telegram for "private deals" or off-platform coordination: that's where most problems start.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use platform safeguards if anything feels off" titleSize="h2">
    GameBoost handles checkout and steps in when issues come up. Reasons to pause and double-check:

    * The seller asks to take payment or communication off-platform
    * The listing is vague, missing key details, or keeps changing
    * The seller is unresponsive for a prolonged period after purchase
  </Step>
</Steps>
