Helpful Hints for Sellers

• Remember, if the offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
• If you accept a cashier’s check or money order for a purchase, make sure that it clears the bank before you ship the items.  Banks will hold you responsible for counterfeit checks.   We recommend you call the issuing bank directly if you have concerns regarding the authenticity of a check or money order.
• Proxibid is unaware of the negations and completion of all transactions taking place via Proxibid Classifieds.  We suggest that sellers never accept overpayment in return for sending a refund to a buyer.
• You have the power to conduct a quick background check on your buyer!  A simple  online search or phone call to a listed number to verify your buyer’s identity can greatly reduce your chance of running into a problem with a sale.
• When in doubt, pass on the sale.
• You did not inherit millions from a lost relative who is trapped overseas. 
• You did not find the one person who wants to pay more than the cost of the item.
• Report any concerns to us at buyerabuse@proxibid.com

 

Helpful Hints for Buyers

• If the item/price sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
• Trust your instincts.  If you don’t feel comfortable with a transaction don’t complete it.
• We do our very best to make sure qualified sellers are selling on the site but we cannot guarantee you will be happy with the transaction, or the seller.  Remember, Proxibid is unaware of the negations and completion of all transactions taking place via Proxibid Classifieds. 
• Always make sure you have a contact number so you can reach the seller if necessary.
• If you have questions about a seller, do some research. A phone call and quick online search will, in most cases, tell you everything you need to know.
• If you have concerns please report them to us at sellerabuse@Proxibid.com

How do buyers and sellers communicate with each other?

We provide buyers with the ability to contact the seller through a form that is accessible on each of the seller's listing pages. The seller will then be notified by email of the buyer's questions and the seller can either reply by email or log in to their account and reply through our onsite messaging system. The seller can choose to keep their email address anonymous.
