9. A winning bidder may request that an escrow service be
used to assure both parties of a fair transaction.
Unfortunately, the seller is sometimes duped into using a
fake escrow system.
10. To avoid such, the seller must always verify the
authenticity of an escrow service. eBay recommends the
use of escrow.com. If the bidder insists on his or her
escrow service, chances are, that person is a scammer.
11. Victims of such find it difficult to reclaim their items. They
may, however, appeal to the legal means afforded by the
state they live in. They must also contact eBay regarding
the matter for any assistance they may offer at that
juncture.
16. This occurs when the seller and bidder disagree on some
terms of the sale. This may also happen if there is a
purported violation of any of these agreements.
17. If communication between both parties does not help,
they may consider availing of a third-party dispute
resolution outfit to help. SquareTrade.com is one of these
outfits eBay recommends.
