If a listing looks misleading, a seller is behaving suspiciously, or something just doesn't add up, report it — it takes a minute and every report gets reviewed by a person.
Every listing and every seller profile has a report action available directly on the page — you don't need to open a deal or contact the seller first. Reporting is separate from messaging a seller, so you can flag a concern without tipping them off that you've done it.
Common reasons include a listing description that doesn't match what's actually being sold, financials or traffic numbers that look fabricated, a seller pushing you to pay outside of Siterifty's checkout, or a profile that looks like it was set up to scam rather than sell. If something feels off but doesn't fit neatly into a category, report it anyway and explain what you noticed — our team would rather review a borderline case than miss a real one.
The seller or listing owner is never shown who filed a report or that a specific report was filed against them. That's intentional: it means you can flag something suspicious without worrying about retaliation, a canceled deal, or an awkward conversation with someone you're mid-transaction with.
Our team reviews the listing, the seller's account history, and — if a deal is already open — the deal chat itself. Depending on what we find, that can mean anything from no action, to a listing being edited or removed, to the account being restricted while we investigate further. We don't share the outcome of every individual report, but repeat or serious violations do result in account-level action.
Reporting a listing doesn't automatically freeze an open deal or your escrow payment. If you're in an active deal and something's wrong, raise a dispute from the deal chat as well — that's what actually holds the funds. See Buyer Protection for how disputes work.
