Selling Advice: Sell Your Item Safely

Sell Your Item Safely

The process of buying or selling privately is usually straightforward but both buyers and sellers can leave themselves open to becoming the victim of fraud or other crimes. Be careful not to let the excitement of buying or selling an item compromise your safety or your money. And remember, if an offer looks too good to be true, it usually is.
