Tips for Buyers
Buying merchandise through Don R. Wallick e-Auctions is a unique experience. This section gives you advice about how to best use Don R. Wallick e-Auctions as a buyer. If you're a seller, read Tips for Sellers.
Know The Item You Bid On
What you see is what you get on Don R. Wallick e-Auctions. Therefore, if a description of an item is unclear, be sure to clarify the item description with the seller before you bid.
Protect From Fraud
Most of the items for sale on Don R. Wallick e-Auctions are offered by private individuals. As such, these sellers are unregulated which makes protecting yourself from fraud extremely important. Please check out sellers by reviewing their Don R. Wallick e-Auctions Feedback, BBSonline, and state and local consumer agencies to find more information about them or their company.
Remember, Don R. Wallick e-Auctions is only a venue and we do not represent the ability of a seller to complete the transaction or the quality of the items. Therefore, if you feel at all unsure about a transaction, ask the seller to escrow the item and payment. You should negotiate these terms with the seller before the close of an auction. Further, credit card payments may insulate you from fraudulent transactions for items over $50.00, so this may be a preferred payment method.
Be Courteous To Other Users
A little bit of courtesy goes a long way, especially via email. Simply taking the time to write in complete sentences, with a salutation and closing, can make a big difference in how you are viewed via email. Be sure to treat everyone with the courtesy that you expect to receive.
Make Note Of Auction Details
Copy the UserID of the seller, e-mail address of the seller, the auction number, the item description, and the time, date, and price you bid on the item. That way, you can contact the seller right away to begin completing the transaction if you are the high bidder. If you return to the site of the item right after closing, you will see the official results. The e-mail notice about the end of the auction is not sent until the following morning, so you don’t have to wait if you return to the item’s page.
Contact The Seller
If you are the high bidder in an auction, be sure you take the time to talk on the phone with the seller, especially if you have any discomfort about your email exchanges. Email communication is sometimes awkward, and it may be difficult to judge another person’s personality, honesty, etc., without having an actual conversation person-to-person.
Also, many people do not read their e-mail every day, so you should not assume someone is ignoring you just because you have not heard from them in a while.
