How do you protect yourself on that market then?

[hayksaakian]

sellers can cancel and refund transactions when buyers seem shady or unscrupulous.

The most common buyer scam I've seen is when they claim they need you to ship to an odd address that doesn't match up with billing info.

I take lots pictures before I ship. The products I largely sell also go through a third party service, but that’s a very recent addition to eBay. Otherwise, like every other business fraud is just a cost/side effect of doing business.
