Extra TV shares some
hot tips for buying luxury goods on eBay, so you don't get ripped off. Smart shoppers can find great bargains. Here are just a few of Extra's helpful tips:
-- Beware of counterfeit goods. For example, authentic designer purses never have tissue paper on the handles. Also, be wary if the accompanying picture is a "stock photo" not taken by the seller. This could mean they don't really have the product. Don't let your lust for luxe make a fool out of you!
-- Find novice sellers who might be inexperienced and willing to sell at lower prices. (They will have a low number next to their eBay ID.)
-- Look for misspelled keywords in the item description. For example, if "diamond" is spelled "dimond," you probably won't be competing with a lot of other fashion freaks.
-- Try to bid in the last few minutes of an auction, so you can score those Louboutins that will make all your frenemies jealous.
Be sure to take your time and don't let your emotions run away from you. A discerning eye and a cold heart are the key to successful eBay shopping.
