1. IF THE AUCTION LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN IT IS. PERIOD. A BUNCH OF SCAMMERS WILL SAY THEY HAVE 50 YARD LINE SEATS IN THE FRONT ROW FOR 800 BUCKS. THAT'S JUST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. 2. NEVER WIRE TRANSFER MONEY. AND I MEAN NEVER. YOU WILL LOSE IT AND NEVER GET IT BACK. 3. IF YOU SEE ANYTHING ON THE AUCTION THAT ASKS YOU TO CONTACT THE PERSON VIA AN OUTSIDE EMAIL, THEN 9.9 TIMES OUT OF 10, THAT AUCTION IS FAKE. NEVER CONTACT ANYONE OUTSIDE OF EBAY. ALWAYS US THE ASK SELLER A QUESTION LINK. 4. PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORDING OF THE AUCTION. MANY SCAMMERS ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY, AND WRITE IN BROKEN ENGLISH. IF IT LOOKS FUNNY, IT PROBABLY IS. 5. DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO FEEDBACK OF A MEMBER IF ANY OF THE RULES ABOVE APPLY. THERE ARE WAYS TO HACK INTO EBAY ACCOUNTS SO AS TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE 100% FEEDBACK ON 900 TRANSACTIONS. DON'T ALWAYS TRUST IT. REVIEW THE FEEDBACK AND MAKE SURE YOUR SELLER HAS OVER 200 SALES IN TICKETING ON EBAY. 6. ASK THE SELLER TO CALL YOU ABOUT THE TICKETS. MANY TIMES THEY WILL COME UP WITH EXCUSES SUCH AS THEY ARE AT WORK, ETC. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC RED FLAG, ESPECIALLY IF ANY OF THE OTHER ITEMS ABOVE PERTAIN TO THE AUCTION. 7. BE LEERY OF AUCTIONS ENDING AT ODD TIMES. IF IT ENDS AT 4 AM AND IT LOOKS SUSPICIOUS, THAT MAY BE BECAUSE THE SELLER IS FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY. 8. ALWAYS USE PAYPAL ON BIG TICKET TRANSACTIONS. THERE IS PROTECTION THERE. 9. ASK QUESTIONS, LOTS OF THEM IF YOU NEED TO. 10. DON'T ALWAYS TRUST AN AUCTION JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PICTURE OF THE TICKETS IN IT. PICTURES ARE OFTENTIMES COPIED FROM OTHER LISTINGS TO MAKE THEM LOOK REAL. 11. ONCE AGAIN, IF IT LOOKS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS!! DON'T BID!!
