1. You MUST Know About eBay Scams Reference: http://reviews.ebay.com/Ebay-Scams-14-things-you-MUST-know_W0QQugidZ10000000001410441?ssPageName=BUYGD:CAT:-1:SEARCH:4 14 Things http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/san_dimas_screen_1.jpg

2. Know the product. Do your research. Many expensive items like antiques, jewellery and other Collectibles have clubs who offer quality advice. If it is a expensive item, check your local library. Educate yourself from sources like eBay guides. 1 We Help Prevent Internet Fraud http://www.wegolook.com

3. If the seller claims that e-mail is the only way to contact them, then no need to move further. Send all the questions you have ONLY via the Ebay mail link (Ask Seller A Question). Do not follow e-mail addresses that are included in the text section of postings. We Help Prevent Internet Fraud http://www.wegolook.com 2

4. Short duration sales may be suspicious. Scammers want to quickly hook their marks and then disappear as they do not want their postings to languish for for all to see. http://www.designerclothesonline.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/shopping-sale.jpg 3 We Help Prevent Internet Fraud http://www.wegolook.com

5. Be careful, if you must proceed at all. Especially do not deal with anyone who is temporarily out of the country. American laws do not apply anywhere but in America. Non-American currency values are printed in italics on Ebay, so they are easy to spot. If the sale is in the United States, make sure the bid amount is in American dollars. 4 We Help Prevent Internet Fraud http://www.wegolook.com 5

6. Don't be impressed by money-back guarantees and dirt-cheap shipping as it may be a scam. Be informed about shipping costs and return policies. http://www.onmoneymaking.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/money-for-writing.jpg We Help Prevent Internet Fraud http://www.wegolook.com 6

7. There are a lot of useful information to really investigate the sellers existence. a. Accounts that have no recent activity are much more likely to be stolen accounts. b. Is this auction consistent with items bought and sold in the past? c. Does the location actually exist, or is it some fictional locale? d. Are his accepted payment methods the same as his last sales? e. The seller's positive feedback points for purchased items are not very useful to you as a buyer, so don't over-value them. Look at the seller's feedback. We Help Prevent Internet Fraud http://www.wegolook.com 7

8. If they have a large number of unrelated big-ticket items currently for sale, then that is very suspicious. Follow the link for Seller's Other Items. If you have seen the exact same photo in other auctions, be suspicious. So have a look at the photos of the item to check its authenticity. Scammers can get pictures of anything from the web.
