I'm talking about people who do business in order to defraud you and me in our transactions on eBay and PayPal. Of course, not all suspicious transactions on eBay are fraudulent. Some are not wise. Others are cankers, which may relate their victims not to be bothered to pursue them. The reason it is left to the buyer or seller are trying to solve the problem. All we, the users can do is be very vigilant and cautious in all our activities from eBay and PayPal. Here is a list concrete measures, in no particular order, where buyers and sellers can take to help avoid being the next victim. Hopefully they are already aware of some of them. Not necessarily mean that if one applies the auction or person is fraudulent. But if you use your head and build a global image based transaction on a number of these factors, you reduce your chance of suffering a scam. some photos) of titles and descriptions Because they do not have the element are "selling", some fraudsters use a photograph shares of the question. And it is likely that the use of manufacturer's product description too. Thus, photos and descriptions of origin may be a sign. Find other auctions by the same vendor and see if they are daring to publish the same item more than once. b) A price too good to be true is often not true A fraudster wants your money quickly, so you can find this offer to its closure of the auction with you as the "winner" with a quote that you know something the market. Why would they close their sales earlier than if the price has not reached market levels? I'll make an assumption. c) high value or high volume, newly registered sellers Although the vast majority of new sellers are genuine and honest be careful to buy from vendors of high value items in bulk, very early in his career on eBay. This pattern is not very normal. Think again their own sales in the first place. You would have been provisional, and probably have tried single, low value items initially. Therefore, a new supplier fitting this profile may be someone who may have already been suspended and has registered another ID. d) 1 day listings Although 1 day listing are used by genuine sellers who have more than one item or who want a quick sale, unfortunately, This term is very attractive to fraudsters.

In addition, and this could be an important minor point, but the vote does not let others know your experience with this seller / buyer. f) methods of payment without scammers will use to choose the payment methods in which the buyer has no protection, like wire transfers where the buyer has no way of finding where the money goes. Western Union Money Transfers and BidPay are favored and should be totally avoided.

Bank transfers and checks can provide the opportunity to study the details of bank account money has been transferred. Use the best protection from PayPal and bottom with a credit card. Note that there are limits on the protection of eBay and PayPal, and you should find what they are. g) unusual sales pattern If your seller feedback indicates that commonly used in collectables, DVDs and other items specific, suspected of being suddenly listing laptops, plasma TVs and other items of great worth.

As he is particularly skilled in the English language can use a translation tool like Babelfish to create their e-mails for you. So beware of emails that are not good English. This in itself proves nothing, there are many eBay sellers true for whom English is not their first language. But it could add more evidence you have. I) Location Location in the case of lazy fraudsters you might find your location does not match. I mean the auction says the goods are in the UK, but details of the identification of the seller indicating their location to be, for example, Ukraine. This is not a good sign. Often in these cases if you contact the vendors you will receive an excuse to explain why the issue is not about the United Kingdom, and therefore can not be collected in person. In short, if the auction said the article was in the United Kingdom and the seller says it is, I want to avoid the auction. And do not forget to cross your PayPal account and see that this country rests. d) Ask questions always, always ask your seller a question. Any question. His answer, if you receive one, you help to judge the authenticity Vendor. Beware of auctions that carry a message that asked to contact the seller via e-mail rather than given by the "Ask the seller a link issue. This could be a hijacker would try to prevent customers from "Ask seller a question. They want to prevent this phenomenon, because these issues could be addressed to the real account holder. k) "eBay can vouch for me" send a warning about a relatively new tactic used by fraudsters. If you find it difficult to land as a buyer / seller, they say can get eBay to email you proof of their validity so that you can trust them. EBay, of course, never do. The email sent, however, authentic appearance is false and is designed to part with their money or property. This applies equally to Square Trade and PayPal. They never will email you certifying the genuineness of anyone. s) Caution PayPal are crooks who steal PayPal accounts to accept payments. For reduce the possibility of this, check the location of the seller, as shown in eBay and see if one of the country approved PayPal by clicking here: http://www.workwinners.com/nlr701.htm.

An alternative to the United Kingdom is http://www.auctionpix.co.uk Please do not be tempted to use any company, escrow, however, his professional-looking websites that may be. It is a fact that 99% of companies warning on the Internet are fraudulent. They are set up solely to defraud money from unsuspecting buyers, and obtain goods without paying for them from unsuspecting sellers. Or pointers) remarks Try to read the comments positive and negative. Read how the seller responds to negative comments such as this will often give you an idea of how the seller will react if something is very evil. If the vendor offers products of high value, pay attention if his comments had been built, low-value purchases. Furthermore, if grade generally good, but there are a disproportionate number of negatives in recent days / weeks, this could indicate that the account has been taken. Finally, keep in mind that the comments are not a guarantee that once was. Your comments can be easily manufactured. In addition, if the user ID was kidnapped, who will read the comments of the original account owner, not the person with whom you do business with you! p) Payment by credit card articles high value or amount of money you can not afford to lose, be sure to pay by credit card that has protection against online fraud. This will give you recourse if the seller is fraudulent. In this context, paying via PayPal is not the same. PayPal has a system of protection buyers, but there are criteria which the eBay auction must meet to be eligible. Even if the qualifying transaction, the protection standard PayPal currently has a maximum value of $ 1,000. Please note that payment by debit card provides zero protection. q) Address and phone box Use the Ask seller a question link and ask him to send an email with your address and phone number. Every seller is reputable you give their address and phone number. When you get the number, call and see if accessed by the original seller. virus capture r) It is striking a computer virus that is downloaded to your PC without wanting to. Your task is to capture the keystrokes you make keys, and send them to the delights virus. The fraudster uses the software pattern recognition to identify and extract personal information such as user name, password, numbers credit card, so that this happens, you should have a good, up-to-virus, firewall software and check for spyware on your PC. It is where you can get free software for each of these functions: protection against viruses – http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ Firewall – http://www.zonelabs.com/store / content / company / products / Znalm / comparison.jsp? Lid = ho_za Spyware Control – http://www.lavasoft.com/support/download/ s) Shill bidding Shill bidding is the place where people work in collusion to inflate the bidding on an item. A seller has a "partner" that the offers on the sellers to strike the bid price. They did not intend to purchase the item. Fortunately, bid rigging and their associated seller can be stupid. The imposter is generally bidder to bid on other items from the same seller. Here's how to check if shill bidding is a characteristic of a particular seller. Firstly, research the closing auction the seller is more in the last 30 days. While most auctions have no private deals, it is unlikely that the seller has to work with them fraudulent bidders. If all the auctions have closed tenders Take a look at the history of the bid. To see if the same bidder appears in the list of bidders, usually with aggressive bids and usually early in the auction. If so, you may have discovered a fraud to avoid auctions a seller. t) Keep your data Transaction Keep your own record of the transaction when you buy. Do not rely solely on eBay. You want a record vendor ID, the item description and emails sent and received, plus the time, date and price of its offer. u) "I noticed your bid …." Never deal with someone who contacts you after seeing your bid on another auction. They say something like: "I saw you bidding on that digital camera. I have the same model on sale. I do not have time to include it on eBay. It has more accessories than they are losers. You can are XYZ. "If you bite, you'll probably take the path of the guard fails. In addition, if aware of this proposal, which operates outside of eBay and therefore have no protection at auction whatsoever. v) Change of eBay ID Never deal with someone who has an icon has changed identity next to your name. This icon means they have changed their identity over the last 30 days. Few people change their legitimate eBay ID. To When was the last time you changed yours? There is a 1% chance of a change of identity is genuine, but 99% it is fraudulent. Why take this risk? w) e-mail has changed half listening If a seller or buyer changes his email address in the middle of a transaction, stop dealing with them. It is likely that your e-mail address former was closed due to some irregularities – like a previous victim reported. If you do this, why any buyer or seller to change your real e-mail address corresponding to the time they want to conclude a deal soon? x) Complications never engage in any transaction where the seller / buyer tries to introduce a third person in the financial arrangements. They may ask you to pay XYZ, then pay the vendor and get a discount or commission for their cooperation. These proposals are always fraudulent. They prey on greed. Do not be tempted. ) And time is the essence This is a scam that has more chance of success than traditional phishing attacks, and that is time sensitive. The fraudster searches for high value auctions that have just ended. The history of the bid for an auction contains hyperlinks each agent. The fraudster checks to see if the winner is the sale of the items himself. If yes, go to the auction and integrate demand payment of the first auction of a question for the seller. This works because winning bidders expect demand for payment shortly after an auction. A variant of this is to offer a bidder a "second" chance. This time the "Ask the seller" e-mail that says the real winner has declined, and sells an item at a lower price. The buyer, believing that history is required to pay those who believe it is a real seller. EBayers have heard of second chance system, but have no experience. This ignorance, combined with the fact that two weeks might have passed, makes this method effective for fraudsters. The moral of this story is never involved in any transaction that arrives in your inbox through the Ask the seller a question feature. z) EBay ID not your e-mail your eBay ID, or part of your eBay ID. Fraudsters have software which monitors internet traffic looking for such information. If your eBay user name and e-mail are It is easy for a fraudster to plausibly communicate with other eBay members on their behalf. That's all on my list. If you have an idea on how to prevent fraudulent transactions on eBay, please let me know and promoting through these upcoming newsletters.

b) A price too good to be true is not always true

A fraudster wants your money quickly, so you may find they offer to auction close you that "winning" bid with a price that you know is something of a market. Why would we close the auction early if the price has not reached market levels? I'll make an assumption.

This gives you an opportunity to appeal if the seller is fraudulent. In this context, the payment by PayPal is not the same. PayPal has a system to protect buyers, but there are criteria which the eBay auction has to meet to qualify. Even if the qualifying transaction, the PayPal's standard protection currently has a maximum value of $ 1,000. Note that payment by debit card provides zero protection.

q) Address and phone verification

Use the Ask a question link and ask them to send an email with your address and phone number. Any reputable seller will give your address and phone. When you get the number, call and see if you get the seller original.

r) capture virus strikes

This is a computer virus which you inadvertently download onto your PC. Your task is to capture the keystrokes you make, and send them to the delights of the virus. The fraudster using the software of pattern recognition to identify and extract personal information such as user name, password, card numbers, credit, etc. To prevent this from happening to you, you should have a good up-to-virus, firewall software and monitoring of spyware on your PC. Here you can get free software for each of these functions:

s) Shill bidding

Shill bidding is where people colluding to inflate the bidding on an item. A seller has a "partner" who made offers on the sellers to find the price submission. They did not intend to purchase the item. Fortunately, the fraudulent bidders and their associated seller can be stupid. The agent usually fraudulent bid on other items from the same seller. Here's how to check if shill bidding is a feature a specific vendor. Firstly, research closing auction seller within 30 days. While most auctions are private no offers, it is unlikely that the seller was fraudulent bidders work with them. If all the deals closed auctions, take a look at history supply. To see if the same bidder appears in the list of bidders, usually associated with aggressive bidding and normally early in the auction. If yes, may have uncovered a fraudulent attempt to avoid auctions a seller.

t) Keep your data Transaction

Keep your own record of the transaction when you buy. Do not rely solely on eBay. You want a record of identity providers, item description and emails sent and received, plus the time, date and price of its offer.

u) "I noticed your bid …."

Never deal with anyone who contacts you after seeing your bid on another auction. They say something like "I saw you bidding on that digital camera. I have the same model on sale. I do not have time to include it on eBay. He has more accessories that lost. You may have to XYZ. "If you are bitten, you probably take the path of the guard fails. Also, if you entertain this proposition, which is operated outside of eBay and therefore have no protection at auction whatsoever.

v) change nickname eBay

Never treat with someone who has an icon identification with his name changed. This icon means they have changed their identity over the last 30 days. Few people change their legitimate eBay ID. When was the last time you changed yours? There is 1% chance that a change identity is authentic, but 99% it is fraudulent. Why take the risk?

w) changed e-mail in mid-stream

If a seller or buyer changes his e-mail that in the middle of a transaction, stop dealing with them. Maybe your e-mail before was closed due to some irregularities – like a previous victim reported them. If you do this, why any buyer or seller real change their e-mail while in a transaction if they want to enter quickly?

Complications x)

Never engage in any transaction whereby the seller / buyer tries to introduce a third person in the financial arrangements. They may ask you to pay XYZ, then pay the vendor and receive a discount or commission for their cooperation. These proposals are always fraudulent. They prey on greed. Do not be tempted.

) And Time is the essence

This is a scam that has more chance of success than traditional phishing attacks, and that is time sensitive. The fraudster searches for high value auctions that have just ended. The history of the auction contains hyperlinks to each agent. The fraudster checks to see if the winner is the sale of the items himself. If yes, go to the auction and embed a demand payment of the first auction of a question for the seller. This works because winning bidders expect demand for payment shortly after an auction. A variation of it is offering to provide a "second chance". This time the "Ask the seller" e-mail claims that the real winner has backed Out and sells an item at a lower price. The buyer, believing that history is required to pay to those who believe that is a real buyer. EBayers have heard about the system of second chances, but have no experience. This ignorance, combined with the fact that few weeks might have passed, makes it an effective method for fraudsters. The moral of the story is never engaging in a transaction that is in your inbox via the Ask the Seller a Question feature.

z) eBay ID

Not your email address as username eBay, or part of your eBay ID. Fraudsters have software that monitors Internet traffic in search of such information. If your eBay user name and address e-mail are the same, is easier for a fraudster to plausibly communicate with other eBay members on their behalf.

That's all on my list. If you have a idea about how to prevent transaction fraud on eBay, please let me know and promoting through these upcoming newsletters.
