Good question! Most are safe and secure however, there are those that don't support or protect their membership.
In truth, online shopping can be a great place to find fantastic bargains. More and more, people are turning to the internet to find more information about products because it is simply much more convenient to search for an item from the comfort of your home or office than it is to go out shopping especially in the cold weather months. To make online shopping as safe as possible we recommend to you the following guidelines:
Buy Inexpensive Items If you are new to online shopping, buying an inexpensive item before buying a more expensive one can prove helpful. Learning the online auction process can be easy and doesn't have to be expensive. Experience is what counts.
Always Buy using Secure and Established Payment Services: Use Paypal, Paymate, Moneybookers, RevolutionMoneyExchange or similar payment services because each of them offer various forms of protection just in case you have to file a dispute.
Check the sellers' previous feedback. Please note: HiBidder.com's system can easily verify previous eBay feedback scores if the seller would like to do so.
If still in doubt contact the seller via email or phone if necessary just like you would call a real store to ask for extra information.
Ask to see an original image of the item: If the seller has placed an image up of the item that is not their own, ask to see an actual image of the item on sale in place of a professional brand item photograph. If the user shows an image of the box and item they themselves took it will be more trustworthy.
Work with trusted Sellers and Friends: Trust takes a little time even in the real world of commerce, we always only go back to sellers we trust and that have provided a good, honest and friendly service. It is the same with HiBidder.com, once you are happy with a seller you will be much more confident in purchasing more of their items in the future. Once you establish trust with a seller you can also pay via other methods without much concern, though we recommend always using Paypal, Paymate or Escrow payment methods for added safety.
