Sometimes you find on Ebay classifieds a great offer. Then contact is quickly made and action is taken. But caution is advised here.
The reason for this is a scam. Who on Ebay classifieds quickly falls into the trap of fraudsters. But protecting yourself is just as simple as the scam.
Ebay classifieds: this is how scammers get away with your money
At first you don’t recognize the fraud. Kitchen appliances, decorative items and books are sold quite inconspicuously. Even in the sales pitch, when the price and delivery conditions are clarified, everything goes normally. Only when it comes to payment you should pay attention.

With this scam, the seller demands payment via PayPal. There is nothing wrong with that in itself, in fact, it is very safe. But the buyer should specify the payment option “friends and family” when paying. That is a big mistake.
Anyone who transfers money like this will probably not see it again. Because: PayPal’s buyer protection only applies if the “goods and services” option is used. If this does not happen, the scammers will simply run away with the money.

Ebay classifieds: Only THEN does the buyer protection with PayPal apply
PayPal offers two payment options for transfers: “Goods and Services” and “Friends and Family”. The former should always be selected for online purchases. If the product does not arrive or if it is fraudulent, the buyer will receive the full purchase price back.
The Friends and Family option should only be used if you trust the recipient. No buyer protection applies here. So: watch out! (ts)
