E-tailing Platforms Taken Advantage of by Thieves
Olx.com has become one of the most well known, trusted and used e-tailing platform in India. By just creating an account, providing banking details and contacting possible buyers/sellers, an individual is able to work from their home and make huge sales. However, this has also made it easier for thieves to impersonate interested buyers and steal from the unsuspecting sellers. Motor vehicles, bikes, and other types of auto mobiles are the easier targets allowing thieves to laugh all the way to the bank after getting away easily.
After posting an advert, a buyer contact you and asks to meet you so that they can test the bike. You agree and allow them to ride for ten minutes, the next think, their phone goes off, no sight of your bike and no way to trace them.

OLX and other E-tailing platforms have developed strategies to curb such cases of theft. It is costing sellers and buyers some extra cash but this is worth it. The chances of an individual being conned are greatly reduced and OLX can fully take responsibility.
