Staying safe on YList

• Never pay before you see the item — pay in person at pickup, or when it’s brought to you. Meet in a public place, and never send money in advance.
• The most common scam: someone asks you to pay upfront and the item never arrives. If they won’t meet or talk on the phone, walk away.

• Your reply — and anything you attach, like a resume — goes directly to the person who posted. YList doesn’t verify employers. Only share what you’re comfortable with.
• Walk away if the poster: asks you to pay money, buy gift cards, or cash checks; asks for your Social Security number or bank details before an interview; offers pay far too good for the work described; won’t talk on the phone or video chat; pressures you to decide immediately.

• Every ad goes through review — higher-risk ones are checked by a real person before they go live.
• See something wrong? Report the ad from its page — five reports pull it down until a person reviews it. (Abusing the report button pauses your reporting for 24 hours.)
• Three upheld violations and the account is suspended.
• You must be 18 or older to post.
• Your email address is never shown publicly — buyer and seller conversations happen here on YList, and only our team can see contact details when settling a dispute.
• Job applications never go through YList: you contact employers from your own email.

Report the ad from its page and we’ll review it. For anything else, contact us.
