[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Mobile secondhand trading platform Danggeun Market announced on the 31st that it will conduct a Safe Transaction Campaign to create a trustworthy trading environment. The campaign consists of publishing a Safe Transaction Guide and holding a Safe Transaction Olympics event.

The Safe Transaction Olympics, a user participation event, provides the Danggeun Trading Champion badge to participants who answer all 8 quizzes related to the Safe Transaction Guide correctly. The earned badge is reflected on the Danggeun Market profile and serves as a symbol of a safe transaction user. The Safe Transaction Guide contains rules to be followed for trustworthy transactions between sellers and buyers, as well as the policy and technical efforts provided by Danggeun Market.

In particular, as a service usage rule, it mentioned avoiding sharing personal information such as phone numbers or addresses during secondhand transactions, and that it is safer to set the appointment time and place through 1:1 chat. At this time, it emphasized that the direct transaction location should be a safe public place. It also urged transactions with users who have GPS (location-based) neighborhood verification. Danggeun Market requires periodic GPS verification, and neighborhood verification is not possible in areas where location information does not match.

Danggeun Market CEO Kim Jaehyun said, “We ask for your participation in the Safe Transaction Campaign to create a safe trading environment and culture based on trust among neighbors,” and added, “We will do our best in technological advancement and platform operation to facilitate active exchanges among local residents.”
