Shop Safe

We all have our favorite place to seek the best deals online. Some prefer the big name stores like amazon and buy.com, then there is the second hand option like ebay and half.com, then there is the beauty that is often forgotten of Craigslist.

Craigslist has often been somewhere I loved to look for offers, and to communicate with others, from the missed connections "you had to sit down in Subway on 3rd" to the apartment listings and and last minute sales.

The concern when buying from a stranger is always there too, but with some sense, we can always make sure to have our own form of buyer's protection. Avoiding scams at Craigslist doesn't need to be difficult. Be logical, follow wise practices, and most of the time your interaction will be with another honest internet user eager to go about their day. If all else fails, there is an Internet Fraud Complaint Center that will look after you.
