Safe trading on Cathay Market

How to trade safely: meet in public, use Secure Trade, and never share one-time passwords.

Meet in public

Choose busy, well-lit public places for meet-ups, and bring someone with you when possible.

Use Cathay Secure Trade

For higher-value items, use Secure Trade so funds are only released after you confirm the item within the 48-hour inspection window.

Never share codes

Cathay Market staff will never ask for your password, card PIN or a one-time password.
