A: When selling items here are some signs of scams to watch out for when contacted by a potential buyer:

• Over Payment - Does the buyer offer to over pay and request you send a cheque for the over payment back to them? This is one of the most common form of online scams today and all such contacts should be ignored and deleted.
• Out of Country / Province - Is the buyer in a different country / province? If the buyer is not local ask them for their contact information and verify it. If they don't want to tell you their contact information then consider it a scam. If the buyer is in a different country ask yourself, does it really make sense for them to purchase my item?
• Asking for Non-Related or Personal Information - Why are they asking for more information then they need? There are many types of Phishing scams out there including emails. Do not give out more information than is needed. If a buyer is looking for additional information then you should consider it a scam.
• Cashier Cheque, Certified Bank Cheque, Western union - Are they looking to pay by some type of money transfer such as 'Western Union', cashier cheque or certified bank cheque? This is a common scam and is usually associated with the 'Over Payment' scam listed above.
• Ship Before Payment - The prospective buyer requests that the item be shipped before payment is received. Never ship an item without payment.
