classifieds?
Hey, can you get scammed somehow if you use the secure payment feature as a seller in classified ads? I listed a monitor for 270 OVB. And now this guy wants to buy it for 270. He didn't negotiate and said his had dropped and he wanted to buy it. Besides, his account is only two days old. So this all seems a bit suspicious to me. Hence the question 🙂
Just read how this works:
Click: “Pay safe” at Classifieds
And then consider why it is Buyer protection and “Pay safe” and not Seller protection and “Surely paid ‘.
Don’t blame me, but I’ll never understand why voluntarily (!) offers a payment type that you don’t understand, where only the buyer is protected and where the other decides whether and when you get your money.
You should Cash payment at pickup or SEPA transfer to your current account accept, nothing else.
Yes, there are also stitches where wrong emails or wrong SMS are sent, which then redirect with links to fake pages.
Considers, of course, that the buyer somehow had to come to your corresponding data (for example, because he asked roof and got it from you).
Another possibility is that the buyer could use its buyer protection fraudulently and e.g. B. claims that the goods had not arrived or were defective in order to be able to recover the money from you and at the same time to retain the goods.
No matter how to do it, nothing goes without risk. Even cash payment when picking up is not free from risks, although it is the safest method to avoid trouble.
Ask enough to observe how the buyer reacts and if something strange happens to you, let it go. There are also other interested parties.
If he actually buys over the function, it’s pretty safe. It must be possible to prove the shipment.
But he really has to buy about the function, not about “Sick me your email address so I can complete the purchase”, ne 😉
You can always be cached if you don’t make pickup and cash payment. You must always exclude warranty and warranty in the ad.
The buyer can always claim something if he gets the goods without your presence. Something’s broken, the screen has a blueprint, etc.
So basically at Kleinanzeigen.de only cash payment and pickup!
I accept only bar when picking up, PayPal to friends and family or transfer directly to my account
Paypal friends and family violate Paypal’s terms of use. If they get this out, your account can be locked.
You wouldn’t be the first to report this to GF and ask how to get the account back.
