However you can save yourself some time and money and stress by knowing how to spot a scam seller a mile away. Follow these simple rules.1) Try and buy from a Top rated Seller- these sellers have high reputations and will never even dream of doing anything to hurt their reputation.2) Even new sellers without much or zero feedback don't always automatically mean they are con artists. Just make sure you message them and ask for details and see how they respond etc. However if the seller has zero feedback and the item price is too good to be true its 99% certain to be a fake listing. Remember if its too good to be true it usually is.3) eBay will show some sellers with lots of 100% positive feedback trying to sell something real cheap. Always make sure the feedback is as a Seller and not as a Buyer. You can do this by clicking on the feedback number enclosed in brackets next to the seller's user name. If seller does not have any Seller feedback always be wary of buying something that's going for real cheap. Most likely it'll be fake.4) Recent scam I got caught to involved hackers getting control of long unused eBay accounts with lots of good feedback to create their fake listings. I bought an iPhone they had listed for an unusually low price- but since the seller had lots of good Seller feedback I thought it was the real deal.Later eBay contacted and informed me the Sellers account has been hacked and to immediately request a refund, which I did. Seller did not respond and after a week eBay refunded me fully- however the currency coversion fees were not refunded and I lost about $20 beacuse of it.So always the top rule of the book is "If its too good to be true, it usually is".Buy Safe.scurvysave your click</blockquote>
