Don't miss out on vital free listing days!
Auction Alert! Watch out for the following points - they're a bit odd and you should be wary of users who :
Pictures lifted from a web site , not of the actual item in their possession.
Dody text whihc sells you a photo of the item not the item itself.
Description copied and pasted from manufacturer's web site with no text
written by the actual seller.
Location given as "Delivered direct to your door" or similar.
Lots of HTML and T&Cs on an auction listed by a new seller - They
are experienced sellers who are using a new account.
Free postage on a large expensive item - unless this is a concession
included in BIN.
3 day or 1 day listing with low start price for high value item - less
time for it to be spotted and pulled.
Seller accepts Western Union (or Moneygram) - if this is the only
payment , run a mile.
Seller has good feedback but from buying and selling cheap stuff.
Now they are selling plasma TVs etc - Indicates the account may
have been hijacked.
Newly created seller has mountains of electrical goods all listed on the same day. None will have pictures of the actual items.
It's a plasma screen TV (a scammer's favourite).
The listing is ALL IN CAPS WITH SPEELING MISTAKS.
The seller has private feedback.
Overseas seller listing items only available to UK , especially
if seller is in Eastern Europe.
I'm bidding on an item and they have offered me a similar item, should I accept?
No. Stay using the ebay service and you get the protection you're able to get from ebay. If it sounds too good to be true then think at least twice why!
If the worst happens
I need to take someone to court as a result of an eBay transaction, what's the easiest way?
There is a website operated by the UK Court Service located at www.moneyclaim.gov.uk which allows you to either instigate, or respond to, a claim. The maximum
claim amount is £100,000 but there are restrictions and advice
on usage of the service located at: www.courtservice.gov.uk/mcol/userguide/index.htm
