The problem

Buying second-hand online shouldn't feel like a gamble.

On classifieds apps and buy-and-sell groups, the same three things go wrong again and again.

Scams that look real

“Pay a small advance and I’ll keep it for you.” “Scan this QR to receive your money.” The story changes. The money you lose doesn’t come back.

Ads that are long gone

You call about the bike and it was sold three weeks ago. Old ads stay up for months, and your evenings go chasing them.

Calls that never stop

Put your number on one ad and the calls, texts and “still available?” messages keep coming, long after the item has gone.

Pakka Haat is built around fixing all three, from the first photo to the final handshake.

What makes it pakka

Trust is built into every step, not added later.

Eight things work together so you know who you're dealing with, and that the deal is real.

Safe Spots

Meet at a trusted shop, not a stranger's street corner.

Safe Spots are partner shops. Pick a day and time in chat, and both of you get a ticket with a 4-digit code to show at the counter.

Verified sellers

Sellers can verify with a photo of their ID. A person on our team reviews it by hand, and the Verified badge shows on every ad they post.

  • We never ask for or store an Aadhaar number
  • The ID photo is deleted as soon as the review is done

Live ads only

Every 3 days the seller is asked if it's still available. No reply in 24 hours and the ad is hidden.

Your number stays hidden

Buyers and sellers talk in chat. Your phone number is never shown to anyone. “Request a call” just tells the other person you'd like to talk.

A scam shield in every chat

Messages are checked for the usual tricks: advance payments, “scan to receive” QR codes, OTP and UPI PIN requests, and outside links.

Scam alert: never pay an advance or token before you see the item.

Fair-price meter

See if a price is low, fair or high, worked out from similar ads. Too few similar ads? It shows nothing rather than guess.

Ratings after a real deal

You can rate someone only after you both tap “Deal done”. Every rating comes from a person who actually bought or sold.

Deal done

RC and IMEI checks

For vehicles and phones, sellers enter the RC number or IMEI privately. Our team checks it by hand, and the ad shows only the result.

How it works

From the first photo to the handshake.

  1. Post in minutes

    Pick a category, take the guided photos and add the details. The fair-price meter helps you set a price buyers take seriously.

  2. Chat without sharing your number

    Questions, offers and counter-offers all happen in chat. Want to talk? Send a call request, not your number.

  3. Meet at a Safe Spot, then tap Deal done

    Book a time at a partner shop and see the item in person. Once you agree, you both tap Deal done and rate each other.
