 Buyer Safety Tips
|
|
When you shop online at eBay you can help make your experience safer and have a more fulfilling experience by using a little common sense and a few simple precautions.
Remember: If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
| 1 |
Carefully read the item description |
This should give you a good understanding of what's on offer. In particular check the picture, shipping details and buyer requirements. If you have any questions, email the seller.
| 2 |
Get to know your seller |
It's important to get to know the seller's reputation before you buy or bid on an item. You can do this by simply reviewing their feedback and if you have any questions just click on "Ask seller a question".
There are several ways you can pay for your item – eBay recommends you use PaisaPay which is the safest and easiest way to pay online. Learn about the other payment options.

NEVER pay with Western Union |
Instant money transfer services like Western Union are not safe to use online and are prohibited on eBay. Criminals prefer these payment methods and may try to convince you to pay this way but we urge you not to. Even Western Union warn against using their services for online payments, such as transactions on eBay.
Look for options like PaisaPay that offer buyer protection.
If you receive an item that is significantly different to its description or you don't receive it at all, you may be protected for up to Rs. 50,000 with the Buyer Protection Program*.
