- Check out on the shipping rates. Most scrupulous buyers doubles the shipping rate to gain more profit. If the rate is not at all equitable, why still go for the jewelry if it is worth more than the purchase price?
- Getting in touch with the seller sends more clues. If the seller never answered questions with loads of inquiries sent, then it is time to think over and decide if the reliability does exist.
- Get closer in knowing the details. Locating the buyer is best to know if it was really a good sale or not.
