Signs of seller fraud
Here are some warning signs when shopping on eBay:
- Short list: Fraudsters often want to close a deal as soon as possible. The longer their list goes on eBay, the more likely they are to be caught – so be careful when you look at the one-day list. However, there are valid exceptions, such as tickets to an upcoming event.
- Lots of discounted or sold items: Be careful if a seller has a lot of high-priced items at a suspiciously low price or has stock of a hard product to find elsewhere. For example, a red flag is when items are shipped cheaply from China because it is bound to be a knock-off. A deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
- Off-eBay Communication or Payment: Always be careful when a seller asks for your personal details such as an email address or phone number They may try to pay you cash or transfer money to a foreign account, which you should never do. This is against eBay policy, and eBay Money Back Guarantee will not cover your purchase.
- Unsecured payment method: eBay does not allow certain payment methods because if there is a problem the payment cannot be found or recovered. If a seller asks you to pay using a process that is absent from the eBay-accepted payment policy, do not transact.
