Buyer Safety Tip

Only purchase items that you officially win in an auction. Sellers may not solicit sales outside of the auction. Yahoo! Auctions offers a Buyer Protection Program for qualifying transactions on items purchased through Auctions. Items purchased outside the auction (not on your Won List in My Auctions) are not qualified for this program. For additional tips on conducting safe transactions, please review our Safety Tips for Buyers and Sellers . Disclaimer: Some transactions are not covered, such as payments sent to a P.O. box, sent outside the U.S., or via wire transfer, so please review the Buyer Protection Program documentation and the item's purchase requirements carefully.

Seller Safety Tip

As the seller you have the ability to control the transaction. Only accept payment methods you are comfortable with. Do not cancel your auction to transact with a buyer outside of Yahoo! Auctions as it prevents you and the buyer from being able to rate one another, and disqualifies the auction for Buyer Protection as well as the Non-Paying Bidder Program . For additional tips on conducting safe transactions, please review our Safety Tips for Buyers and Sellers .
