Tips for Avoiding Internet Auction Fraud:
 Understand as much as possible about how the auction works, what your obligations are
as a buyer, and what the seller’s obligations are before you bid.
 Find out what actions the website/company takes if a problem occurs and consider
insuring the transaction and shipment.

 Learn as much as possible about the seller, especially if the only information you have is
an e-mail address. If it is a business, check the Better Business Bureau where the
seller/business is located.
 Examine the feedback on the seller.
 Determine what method of payment the seller is asking from the buyer and where he/she
is asking to send payment.
