What to Check

Before confirming receipt: 1. Download all files from the deal chat 2. Open each file to verify it's not corrupted 3. Check file formats match the listing 4. Verify the number of items matches (e.g., "100 icons" = 100 files) 5. Check for licensing documentation 6. Scan files for malware (optional but recommended)
