Use
extra caution with high-demand items especially around holidays.
Certain high-demand items are associated with
higher purchasing risks. When
shopping, be suspicious of hard to find
items offered at a very low price.
Check-It-Out before you Check-Out.

Be wary of items
with delayed shipment. Pay attention to the advised delivery date.
Delivery dates further than 20 days after your
payment involve more risk.

Merchants typically do not sell goods with
delivery dates delayed more than 20 days from the
date of payment.

Use your instincts to look
for warning signs. Close out items are sometimes due to old
technology and old stock. Find out why the item is closing
out. Items that are stocked in large quantities but are
"hard to find" are sometimes due to misleading information. Verify
the validity of the claim. If it
sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Look for testimonials
from real people, not just one person. Ask yourself if the
information in the item description sounds believable.
If you really would like to make a purchase but are
a little hesitant, simply contact the seller or the seller's
supplier. Verify that what your paying for is what you're getting
by inquiring with the Merchant. Educate yourself.
