Safety Tips for Online Jewelry Auctions
Tuesday September 21, 2004
It's fun to participate in online auctions, but buying jewelry sight unseen from a total stranger can be risky. Here are some tips to help you determine which items and sellers you would like to learn more about and which ones you might want to avoid.

Ask the seller to describe the item. Ask him details, specific questions and features. If his answers are too vague and if it looks like he is trying to hide something, then either the item is not exactly what he described or he simly does not have an item at all. In addition, ask for pictures from diffrent angles and resolutions (since this will be the proof that he has the item). The best of all, try online auctions in reverse where you post an ad asking for an item and you can invite the recognized sellers.
