@Brian, you are right. But I believe handling stolen goods is a very serious crime. If as the buyer I dont verify the item belongs to the buyer and I am caught, I believe the next time I will not even look at any item twice if there is no proof of ownership.
Replicate this a few times and it will catch on.

Neither do I. If there was some form of registry even voluntary where you can register your phones IMEI so that a potential buyer can cross check identity of owner then that could work. Receipts are the easiest thing to forge.

Do you still have the receipt for the fridge, cooker, tv, etc you bought 10 years ago? I don't.

What about proof of ownership before selling, for starters?

What exactly is there to control in the online market place? I can also open a shop and sell second hand phones(stolen or otherwise)
OLX is not a culprit, closing the platform will not stop anything.
