What are basic safety tips?

Here are some general safety tips when selling online.

1. Never send your item before receiving the money

This includes never accepting cheques or payment services like Bidpay, Western Union, or Money Gram. These forms of funds transfer are favored by fraudsters.

2. Shipping agents

Buyers located overseas claiming to use shipping agents are usually scams. Never pay a shipping agent claiming to be hired by the buyer. Always ship the dress yourself.

3. Make yourself aware of common scams and fraud

Do not believe the promise of large sums of money for your help in any task.

4. Use common sense

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
