Today's subject is buying, or winning auctions on eBay, and some advice on how not to get taken by dishonest dealers or eBay Sellers. Let me say first that the vast majority of eBay Sellers are pretty honest, but there are more than a few really slick FRAUD artists out there.  eBay Sellers rip you off by giving a skimpy or vague description of the item, or worse, outright lies.

Some simple steps can verify a seller,

1. Do they allow you to call them and will they answer the phone quickly.
2. Do they allow you to meet them.
3. Do they answer emails quickly.
4. Is there a pick up address.

If the answer is yes for these 4 options, you have a much better chance of receiving your item.
