Booking services online is convenient, and a few good habits make it safer too. These tips apply on any marketplace, including EZgig.

Pay through the platform

Be cautious if someone asks you to pay outside the platform or to send money before any details are agreed. Paying through the platform keeps a clear record of your order.

Protect your account

Use a strong, unique password and never share it, or any one-time codes you receive, with anyone. EZgig will never ask for your password.

Verify who you are dealing with

Check the provider's profile, reviews and verification status before you book. Be wary of profiles with no history or reviews that look copied.

Keep communication in one place

Agree scope, price and timing in writing through the platform's messages, so everyone is clear on what was promised.

Watch for warning signs

• Pressure to decide or pay immediately.
• Prices that seem far too good to be true.
• Requests for personal or banking details that are not needed for the job.
