When it comes to bidding you have to take careful steps, so you dont fall for a fraud or scams. If your a new ebayer this will help alot.

 

The five steps are:

1. Check The Location Of The Product (If Its Overseas you should be careful on what your bidding on especially in most countries that are known for "conning" and "bootleg" ex : China)

2. After verifying the location check the sellers rating ( This is most important because easily being put, he/she can be a bad seller/fraud/scammer the rating is very important to acknowledge this sellers rate)

3. New Products ( New products like for ex : Sidekick 3 can easily be scammed, sense the scammers are selling it for so cheap you think you get a bargain, when you later figured you were scammed)

4. Payment (Recommended: Dont use Money Order, you will not be able to get your money back, i use credit cards myself so just incase a scam comes i can stop the payment within my 30 day period)

5. Think (Before you just bid, just check out stuff, see if anything is suspicious use your senses)

 

I hope this guide helped you and if it did

 

Press Yes

 

Thank You,

 

Your Fellow Ebayer
