Security
 
Security for Buyers:
  • Always try to get several references for a seller before you send payment
  • Never pay for an item via Western Union
  • If an offer sounds to good to be true always ask questions and do your due diligence before committing
  • If you plan on face to face transaction always meet in a public place and take someone along with you
  • Avoid using any type of third party escrow company that your not familiar with
  • Make sure the package is fully insured for the full purchase price
 
Security for Sellers:
  • Be cautious with buyers that offer you more than the price you are asking for
  • If you plan on taking payment via bank wire transfer always confirm the funds have cleared and posted into the account before shipping.
  • With bank account deposits or transfers always confirm which type of payment has been made and call your bank to verify the correct clearance time before you ship (I.E. bank wire, cashiers check, personal check, company check). Please note: there is a tremendous amount of fraud activity happening with certified/ cashiers bank checks.
  • Be aware of buyers who want to use third party escrow services that you are not familiar with
  • When accepting paypal or credit cards directly always get references for the buyer to help avoid costly chargeback's
