With the Holiday Season here people are considering selling their Jewelry over the Internet on such popular websites like eBay or CraigsList.<\/p>\n
Here are some safety tips for you to follow, no matter what time of the year it is:<\/p>\n
1. Insist on payment either via a Certified Bank Check that you can corroborate with the Bank, a Bank Wire Transfer to your account, or an escrow account such as Paypal. Do not accept Cashier checks or Money Orders as they can be forged. <\/p>\n
2. Ship you jewelry only with the US Post Office, Registered Mail, Return Receipt to a Fedex or UPS Station as a “Hold For Pick up” addressed to your Buyer for their personal pick up. You can insure up to $50,000 with the US Post Office. The Buyer will be asked for photo ID and a signature and then be given the package by the Fedex or UPS Rep. This is your proof that the correct person has taken possession of the merchandise.<\/p>\n
3. Never ship with Fedex or UPS as they insure only up to $500.00. Any amount over $500.00, the item(s) you are shipping has to be declared and described on the shipping manifest. There have been reports of “mysterious” disappearances of the contents and you will not be covered.<\/p>\n
Here is a recent unfortunate story of a woman who got scammed out of over $10,000 of her jewelry by a con man answering her ad on Craigs List. Caveat Emptor.<\/p>\n
