Communication: The Dos and Don’ts
In this article, we highlight major communication dos and don’ts that everyone, buyer and seller alike, should be aware of, and apply.
These Dos and Don’ts are insisted upon for your safety.
Adhere to the guidelines below to ensure a safe, comfortable, and convenient marketplace for everyone. Â
The Dos
- Make sure to always keep all your payments on Avicii’s platform, as well as the majority of your communications.
- As we would always like to have your back, please be aware that if you attempt to take any business off Avicii, we cannot ensure your project or business’s safety.
- Make sure to always use the appropriate language when communicating on Avicii and to constantly remain professional.
Avicii does not condone any bullying, harassment, discrimination, or hate speech.
The Don’ts
Note: If any suspicious behavior arises throughout your conversations, be sure to contact Customer Support immediately. You can also report suspicious messages to be reviewed by our Trust and Safety team using the Report button, as indicated below.
- Don’t share your passwords, credit card information, SSN, national identification card number, or other private information.
- Don’t click on any links or attachments that you may receive through instant messaging from unrecognized contacts unless the context is absolutely clear.
- We also recommend that you always use an antivirus on your device as extra security.
- Don’t engage in any type of online conversation that makes you feel uncomfortable.
- If you do receive such a message, DO NOT respond—instead, report the sender to Customer Support immediately.
- Please avoid the use of remote access tools (e.g. TeamViewer, AnyDesk, etc.) since they allow the second party to potentially take control of your computer.
- If you do need to use a remote access tool, make sure not to allow any operations. These may cause damage to your computer if accessed by the other party.
Note: Operations that may cause damage include: downloading unfamiliar files or opening untrusted websites.
