When purchasing an item that another member has listed:
-
Caveat emptor
– Do not let your heart rule your head
– If it looks too good to be true, it probably is
– Buyer beware -
Obtain a phone number
– Is the seller reluctant to provide one? This should raise your suspicions
– Is FaceTime / a video call an option?
– Can they prove they are who and where they say they are? -
Get some history on the item
– How long have they had it?
– Where did they get it from?
– Why are they selling it? -
Payment
– Do not use direct bank transfer
– If using PayPal, do not send the money as a “Gift” -
Report it
– Think someone is up to no good? Flag it.
Not buying?
-
Do not participate in the topic unless it is helpful
– Helpful replies could be asking for more photos or other useful information -
Do not inform the world you can get one cheaper elsewhere
– This is neither helpful or nice
