Report routes

Choose the right route
for your report.

Suspicious or fraudulent listing

Use the Report button on the listing page, or email:

safety@listu.co.uk
1 business day

A listing that appears to be a scam, uses misleading photos, has a price that seems too good to be true, or requests off-platform payment.

Also use the Report listing button directly on the listing page for fastest review.

Suspicious or abusive user

Use the Report button on the seller profile, or email:

safety@listu.co.uk
1 business day

A seller or buyer who is behaving suspiciously, requesting personal information, asking you to communicate outside the platform, or exhibiting threatening behaviour.

Include the username or profile link in your email.

Listing that violates platform rules

Use the Report button on the listing page, or email:

safety@listu.co.uk
2 business days

A listing for a prohibited item, a listing in the wrong category, a listing with false or misleading information, or a listing that violates the Seller Standards.

Reference the Seller Standards page if you are unsure whether a listing is in violation.

Harmful, offensive, or illegal content

Email directly — do not use the listing report button:

safety@listu.co.uk
Same business day

Content that is illegal, sexually explicit, threatens a person, or promotes violence or discrimination. These reports are treated as urgent.

Mark your email subject "URGENT — [content type]" for immediate escalation.

Data breach or privacy concern

Email the legal team directly:

legal@listu.co.uk
24 hours (urgent) / 5 days (other)

You believe your personal data has been misused, shared without consent, or that a data breach has occurred involving your ListU account.

Include "DATA BREACH" in the subject line for urgent data incidents.

Platform abuse or impersonation

Email support:

support@listu.co.uk
2 business days

Someone is impersonating ListU, another user, or a business on the platform. Includes fake ListU communications or fraudulent use of the ListU name.

ListU will never contact you asking for payment or personal details outside the platform.

After you report

What happens to your report.

01

Report received

All reports go directly to the ListU operations team. There are no automated filters that can dismiss a report before a person has read it. Every report is logged.

02

Investigation

The team reviews the reported content, account, or listing against platform policies. For safety and fraud reports, investigation begins within one business day. For content violations, within two business days.

03

Action taken

If a violation is confirmed, action is taken: listing removal, account warning, account suspension, or referral to relevant authorities. You will receive confirmation that your report has been reviewed.

We cannot always share outcomes

Due to account privacy obligations, ListU cannot always confirm to a reporter what specific action was taken against another user. You will receive confirmation that your report was reviewed, but the outcome may be confidential.

If money has already changed hands

Act immediately. Every minute matters.

If you believe you have been defrauded through a ListU listing, report to ListU and take these steps in parallel — do not wait for ListU's response before contacting your bank or Action Fraud.

1

Contact your bank

Call your bank's fraud line immediately. Ask them to attempt a payment recall. The sooner you call, the higher the chance of recovery. Find the number on the back of your card.

Do this first

2

Report to Action Fraud

Report online at actionfraud.police.uk or call 0300 123 2040. Action Fraud is the UK's national fraud and cybercrime reporting centre. Keep your report reference number.

Do this first

Report to ListU

Email safety@listu.co.uk with the listing link, seller username, and details of what happened. ListU will investigate and can assist law enforcement with account information if required.
