There are several ways you can look at a seller.
Check out her article before you bid
Find out here on a fraud.
Shilling The most common scam. Sellers and his cohorts to tender the price of an item more for the winning buyer (who) ends up paying for the item at a higher price than otherwise would have. Bidding Protection The buyer makes a low offer and is followed by other buyers (partners) who take the auction higher compared with the actual value of the item, the last time the high bidders retract their offers and leave only the remaining low initial offer . Basically, you sell the item for a price lower than expected and no one else has bid high for offers that have been retired. Fake photos It is very easy to make something look good or even completely replace and take a picture. Once the image is scanned further improvements can be made. Look at the picture carefully, does it look like a stock shot? Do you have areas of blur or lack of clarity? (a sure sign that has been altered) Does it fit the description? Print it and save it to disk, you may need later False / misleading descriptions Again you can write anything at all. When was the last time you buy a car, not that Dent, rust, bad paint in the description of the ad, of course, sellers may fail to mention things they see as less important, but you see as faults serious and, of course, the same goes for auctions. "The description matches the picture? Is a detailed description or just the make and model, vendors must provide a detailed description and even point out the flaws, if contact a seller before you bid and find that a lot of bad stuff has been left out of the description, ask yourself if you want to do business with this person. Non-delivery of goods Usually online auctions require that the buyer pays for the goods before receiving the goods. So you have paid, the check has been cashed and have not received the goods. First contact with the seller, if you get no response contact the auction site, host of the auction, tell them the situation and request any information that may be able to give. Be sure to keep a record of all conversations, correspondence and canceled checks. Many auction sites now require sellers to give details of your credit card for identification before they can sell, for obvious reasons, choose your site carefully auction. In the U.S. this is a crime and is classified as mail fraud to take legal advice. False Feedback Visit votes buyer is for sale page. Sellers are rated by past buyers. Feedback systems can be easily manipulated by the seller using fake user accounts and / or its partners. If a seller has a perfect number of votes that may mean they are totally honest and timely sales or dishonestly notice that false votes, no easy way to see untrue, though, an average rating is probably a good thing, after all, very few people are perfect. If you burn to make sure others know by using the comment sections. Switch and Return You as seller have sent their goods to the buyer, the buyer and then changes his older merchandise, copied or broken goods of the same nature and contacts to those who say they are dissatisfied with the goods and demanding a refund. I do not know until the goods have been returned to you, so what to do? Do not give refunds until you have the goods. Before sending the goods to take pictures of them, describe them and note the model numbers, serial numbers or unique markings. Contact the seller and let them know you know and the evidence you have, then offer to return the goods to them when you receive payment of re-shipping. Pirates or stolen If you think that the goods can be hijacked or stolen contact the seller and ask for details of where and how to get the product, please contact the original supplier to confirm. The software is especially subseptible this. |
