How to check a seller before you pay

Yano makes booking pages and passes. It never receives your money: you pay the seller directly, so refunds come from the seller, not from Yano. A minute of checking helps.

Three checks

  1. Their Instagram links back to Yano. Tap Instagram on the event page. Their bio link should be their Yano page (yano.club/o/their-name). Anyone can type an Instagram name, so this is the check that counts.
  2. The UPI name matches. When you pay, your UPI app shows the name of the person receiving the money. If Yano showed you a name, it should match. If it doesn’t, stop and message the seller first.
  3. Message them first. Use the WhatsApp or Call button on the event page and ask anything. A real seller answers.

What Yano does

  • Shows only facts it counted itself: how long the seller has been on Yano, events held, and paid guests who came in.
  • Shows open complaints from guests on the seller’s event pages.
  • Takes a listing off Yano’s lists after reports from 3 different people, until someone at Yano looks at it.

What Yano can’t do

  • Check who someone really is.
  • Get your money back. It never had it.

Something went wrong?

If you booked, open your pass and tap Report a problem. If you think a listing is a scam, open it and tap Report this listing at the bottom. Can’t find your pass? Find it with your phone and email.
