More about credit card security >>

We aim to ensure your personal information is secure, however, cyber-hacking is always a real possibility. This is why we only collect and store basic information from you; for example, we don’t ask for your full address, date of birth or other significant identifying information. We collect and store only the following personal information:

• 1. Your name (we don’t ask for ID)
• 2. The suburb in which the item is located
• 3. Your email
• 4. Your phone number (optional)

Note: Your Credit Card info will not be stored with machinesonline; once payment is made we cannot use or retrieve your credit card information.

Dealers will be asked to provide more information than private advertisers.

1. Before an Ad goes live, the seller is required to verify their email – if they do not verify their email their Ad will not go live. This helps to ensure the advertiser is real.
2. A seller, before they can post their Ad, has to pass thru’ the ‘Captcha’ security programme – this helps to ensure the seller is real and not an automated robot.
3. We also rely on users of machinesonline to report any dodgy Ads – that way we can suspend an advertiser and their Ad with almost immediate effect.

Yes, you can create and manage your adverts from your mobile. Including uploading photos and videos to your advert.

There are two ways:

• 1. By phone: You can choose to display your phone number in your Ad. That way Buyers can call you directly. But you don’t have to display your phone number. When completing your Ad you will be given the option to display or hide your phone number
• 2. Alternatively, Buyers can contact you via our email messaging system which appears prominently in your Ad. Anyone using this messaging system will have to pass the Capthca security test which helps to ensure you don’t get spammed.
