Risk patterns
Too cheap can be a warning, not a bargain
Some listings are priced far below normal value because they are urgent, damaged, incomplete, or fraudulent. The discount alone is not enough to trust the deal.
- Watch for placeholder prices and down-payment language.
- Treat deposit requests and shipping pressure carefully.
- Verify ownership, condition, and item identity before payment.

Safer buying
Use risk notes to slow down
A risk warning does not prove fraud. It tells you to verify more carefully before spending time, sharing information, or sending money.
- Inspect the item in person when possible.
- Use secure payment practices and avoid upfront deposits.
- Walk away when the seller refuses normal verification.
