Buying on Ebay , by wrigs on May 17, 2019 19:47:06 GMT 1, Whatโs everyoneโs thoughts? Any tips suggestions?
Looking at something which is supposed to be a signed serigraph from Europe. Obviously wonโt get to see it in person, give it a swerve?

Worst thing that can happen for a buyer is just a little disappointment due to item crushed during transit or having to ship back because the seller lied.

Buying on Ebay , by .dappy on May 17, 2019 21:10:28 GMT 1, ... look at past sales and current sales ...
... be very careful with the description ... could it be interpreted in a different way than you think ... to favour the seller if you tried to return ...

Check the feedback and the description ...
Otherwise eBay has your back aswell as Paypal as a buyer (generally)
Probably safer than buying elsewhere if you do your homework...

Indeed. "Soup Can print signed 'Warhol'" is very different to claiming that you have a signed Warhol print of a soup can.

Buying on Ebay , by John The Badgers on May 19, 2019 17:29:45 GMT 1, Only had good dealings on eBay, although not prolific. Always check the feedback, sounds obvious, but when you read through the comments, gives you a decent feel for the seller.
We sell via eBay at work, again not prolific, but always conscious that everything spot on, and the feedback important for ongoing business.
Again, perhaps obvious, but via eBay messages, get phone numbers/e-mail contact, and discuss that way again to get a feeling as to who you are dealing with?
All the best, hope it goes well.

Apologies, not sure whether this piece listed as such.

Iโd also look at what was sold recently vs what is being sold if a new seller..... if little items sold now some high ticket items and you are weary good reason, seen scammers get reviews up legitimately or artificially with low value items to later fleece people on high ticket ones. Also make sure not stock photos being used.

They do. I did it a few days ago, and not long before that.

Just writing 'at' instead you'd still get blocked or when you type dot com, or dot co uk . But perhaps that only becomes enforced to people who've previously been flagged.
