[QUOTE="Cobra Commander, post: 1427392, member: 565574"] How to protect yourself 1.) Use paypal. Its the best thing other than picking it up locally and paying cash. That way, you can get that persons info from PP. Address, phone, email etc. 2.) Look at what they are selling, make sure its all consistent. Someone was selling a 97Supra Turbo but had 100's of feeback for Grandmother Pendants. Hoewver, I have sold very random things, so just be aware. 3.) Follow through with feedback, look at the feeback and look at the peron who let its feedback and so one until your satified that the transactions were random and not pre-staged. 4.) If some is mystriously outbidding you towards the last minute. Check the bidders location if possible. Check their feedback for clues to their location. I would be suspicuos if the 2 were even in the same state. I busted some people doing this and he sold me the item for my orignal bid. 5.) Bid at the last 30 seconds. This gives little time for someone to up the bid on you in favor of the seller. I too have lost money, or bought something that wasnt what I thought it was. Just pay attention to detail.
