1. Check the seller's feedback profile and seller ratings. It is important that you get to know more about your seller through his or her feedback profile, or comments and ratings left by actual buyers basing on their experience in a particular sale or transaction.

2. Check the listing's dispatch time and estimated delivery date. Don't be too overwhelmed shopping, and make sure you will receive the item you'll order just on time especially if it is for an event or important occasion.
3. Check the item location. Usually, local delivery time frame take about 5 to 10 days for standard delivery, and 30 to 60 days for international transactions.
4. Check item description. Some sellers do not clearly state their item description or may hide some flaws in their photos, so the more angles the item have, the better. If the item description is vague, find another seller who sell the same item.
5. Check the seller history and other items for sale. It is a reflection of the seller's reputation and credibility.
6. Check the carrier. It is important to choose a trusted and reliable delivery company. Usually, you'll be given several options, but it's advisable to choose one with a tracking information.

8. Check delivery options. It include via posting, cash on collection, and pick up drop off. Major shopping platforms offer some kind of buyer protection mostly for posted items, in case of non-delivery or item not as described.
9. Check overall listing before you click on buy. Be careful clicking on items, because remember that once you click on "buy it now", you are committed or obliged to pay for the item. Don't be trigger happy.
10. Check the seller's manner of communication. A good seller must be able to respond properly and quickly if you have a question about the product. That is good customer service, with respect, courteousness and friendliness.
