How it works

A listing photo proves nothing.

Scammers copy photos from the internet or other listings, or have an AI make them. They don’t have the item at all.

Listing photo

Could come from the internet, an old listing or an AI. You can’t tell whether the item exists right now.

Taken live in the app just now, checked, with the time and rough location. Gallery photos can’t be used.

How it works

Hi, is the item still available? Thanks

Yes, still available.

Great, thanks! Before I pay, I always ask for a recent photo when buying online. Could you quickly take a photo of the item with the free katitrust app and send me the check code? No sign-up needed, it only takes a minute. If everything looks good, I’ll take it.

Ask

Write as usual first. After the reply, ask for a check code; the message for it is ready in the app.

Take

The other person takes the photo right in the katitrust app. Photos from the gallery can’t be used.

Check

Enter the code and see the original photo, when and roughly where it was taken. In the app or in the browser.

Ask for the check code.

Whoever doesn’t have the item can’t photograph it either. Ask for a recent photo of something the listing leaves out: the back, the serial number or the accessories. You’ll see the condition too.
