     Most of you have ever thought of buying secondhand goods. The price of secondhand goods is lower than that of new goods. But there are so many swindlers in second-hand market, especially on the Internet. You may not receive a product although you send money. Then how can we buy secondhand goods without being swindled? Here is some steps that help you buy secondhand goods safely. The first step is to check if a seller is swindler or not. If you know the seller's phone number, look it up on the site like "The cheat". You can find out if that person did cheat or not through this step. Next step is to avoid buy secondhand goods which is much cheaper than others. Swindlers often put goods at low price to make people buy on impulse. If you see a cheaper good, try not to buy it. Or, check the seller's credibility carefully using first step. Do not buy it on impulse. Third, use a Escrow Service. Seller can take money only after you click the button, which means you received products. So, you don't have to worry about not receiving what you purchased. But don't click the button before checking the whole products. Some seller send box which includes not products but trash or other things. Click the button after you check inside the box in detail. There are too many risks in purchasing secondhand goods. But if you follow these steps, you can receive secondhand goods safely.

  2. Hi, This is Kim Ji Su.

    Your writing is very neat and clear.
    I loved your topic, and it was very useful for me because
    I'm planning to buy new cell phone through the internet.
    This is the first time of buying products on internet, though
    your writing really gave me some good advices.

    However, it would have been much better if you pur your
    personal experiences or other live examples regarding the
    internet purchasing.

    More detalized examples will improve your writing more!

    Thank you.
