Warning Signs

Seller Has Large Quantity of Hard to Find Items If a seller claims to suddenly have a large quantity on an item that's impossible to find, question the validity of the claim. Ask to speak with the seller's supplier, and use a phone directory to verify that the supplier is a legitimate business with the correct address and phone number.

Seller Buys Low Dollar Items and Lists High Ticket Items On many sites, it is possible to improve your feedback rating by buying *and* selling items, so read the feedback comments carefully. If the seller has only made purchases (rather than sales), his feedback is not necessarily an indication of his selling reputation.

Seller Has Little, No, or Negative Feedback While a low feedback rating may simply indicate that the seller is new, transactions with low feedback sellers tend to involve more risk.

Seller Lists Multiple Items with the Same Picture Be wary of multiple listings with the same picture, particularly if the picture is from the manufacturer's website. If the photo looks like it was taken at a home or office, chances are better that the seller does have that item.
