How can you discover fraud/scam deals on Ebay.com?

Ah it's very simple. First, and just like Issam said, if the auction is too good to
be true, then it's not right. It's dodgy. The auction either gets cancelled or no
one but a noob would fall for it.

To protect yourself on Ebay, look for the following:
1- Make sure the user accepts Paypal (that's the safest way to buy from
ebay) If anything happens, Paypal makes sure the seller refunds your
money.
2- The seller must have at least 99% or in the worst case 98.5% feedback.
3- Read seller feedbacks before you buy, see where do they underperform
and what do they normally sell.

You'll get hoaxed a few times, but it's part of the learning process and
getting to know how to do things properly and correctly. Just make sure
you don't get hoaxed over something expensive.

Happy bidding!

i advice you to start with non-expensive stuff, ie max 100$. when you get the hang of it, make yourself comfortable with the tuff stuff

too late for that >_<
the items im bidding on are kinda expensive u know? 300 bucks for a cdj800 with 150 quid on paypal insurance or w/e. not the best deal but he's got 100% feedback and he's fairly new. im winning the bid so far.

i wanna give u guys the link but im afraid someone might outbid me

alright so 500 dollars for a CDJ 800 MK2 with 100% positive feedback and paypal insured 2000 dollars along with worldwide shipping. not to mention the number of stars is 50 something. and the user accepts paypal

how does that sound?

^sounds ligit! go for it!

But what about the second cdj?

by **crow** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 8:36 pm

the other cdj should be on its way.
bid 450 bucks on a cdj 800 mk 1
that's why i was pretty suspicious about the price of the mk2. i already bought both. so yeah.
let's hope for the best *fingers crossed*
