Signs of seller fraud
Here are some warning signs to watch for when shopping on eBay.
- Brief Details:- Fraudulent sellers often want to close the deal quickly. The longer their listing is on eBay, the more likely they are to be snapped up – so be careful when looking at same-day listings. However, there are exceptions, like tickets to an upcoming event.
- Items heavily discounted or on sale: Be wary if a seller has a lot of high-priced items at suspiciously low prices or is selling hard-to-find items elsewhere. For example, a red flag is when the goods are shipped cheaply from China because they are likely to be knocked off. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
- Outside eBay contact or payment: Always be careful if a seller asks for your personal details, such as an email address or phone number. They may ask you to pay money or transfer money to an overseas account, which you should never do. It is against eBay policy, and the eBay Money Back Guarantee will not cover your purchase.
- Unsecured payment methods: eBay doesn’t allow certain payment methods because it can’t be traced or refunded if there’s a problem with the payment. Do not proceed with a transaction if a seller asks you to pay for a process that does not have an acceptable payment policy from eBay.
