Sellers face unique risks — from fraudulent buyers to fake payment claims. Use these guidelines to protect your listings and your revenue.
- Use clear, original photos of the actual item — multiple angles, well-lit.
- Write accurate, detailed descriptions including any defects or wear.
- Set a fair price based on market research to avoid attracting scammers targeting “eager” sellers.
- Only confirm orders after payment is fully cleared in your account — never on a screenshot alone.
- For high-value items, use tracked shipping with signature confirmation.
- Keep all receipts, tracking numbers, and delivery confirmations.
- Be wary of buyers who overpay and ask for a “refund” of the difference.
- Never release goods to a third party you haven’t verified.
- Block and report buyers who become aggressive or threatening.
