How To Detect An Ebay Scam
If this is the case, then it's time for the buyer's warning
signal to go red alert because if things on E-bay seemed to
good to be true, it probably is and may not even be worth
                  the buyer's time and money.
There are lots of frauds and scams going on in the Internet
    today and E-bay is not excused. So, it's important for
buyers to detect early signs of fraudulent activities before
it gets them. Here are some important points to take note
                              :
1. Buyers should always check the seller?s feedback rating.
If a seller has many negative feedbacks or no feedback, do
your due diligence and stay away from this auction. There
               is a chance it is a scam or fraud.
2. Another big issue ebay users need to take note of is
  phishing emails. Do not enter your ebay account details
for any emails that tell you to do so. Some of these emails
   claims to be from ebay when they are not. It's already
 anomalous in the first place because E-bay does not send
   emails. Plus, E-bay would definitely not certify a seller
      even if he or she has a remarkable selling history.
3. Buyer should be aware of sellers that insist on wire
transfers like Western Union as mode of payment. In fact,
    E-bay does not recommend their buyers to use wire
transfer services. If the seller insists on it, then, no doubt
it's a scam. If you are planning to buy expensive items on
                  ebay, use escrow services.
4. Buyer should also be aware of "too-good-to-be-true"
 prices. Chances are items that are priced way below their
real prices are signs of imminent fraudulent activities. One
  good example is DVDs and I have noticed recently many
    bootleg or illegal copies of DVDs being sold on ebay.
5. Online shoppers should be weary of institutions
claiming they are escrow but ask payments be made to a
  person instead of a corporation. This is a clear case of
                          scam.
6. Buyers should also be aware of sellers that let them pay
the bid amount to wire transfers directly from the buyer's
   checking account. Worst, the seller contends that the
              given bank account is Escrow's.
The above tips are important to keep in mind when you
are using ebay. After all, it's better to play safe than dumb.
