If you know for certain of the person that is providing bogus postings or biddings report it immediately to our security department. Oltiby.com will continue to monitor the bidding sessions and will suspend or cancel the membership to any member that conducts illegal or unethical activities on our site.

Find out more about the third-party payment or online escrow service a buyer wants to use

Do a thorough research on the payment option chosen by the buyer if you have never used it before. Some fraudulent buyers will use an unknown third-party payment method, which turns out to be fake. What could happen is you, as a seller, would ship the item to the escrow service, but would never actually receive the money.

Contact the credit card company

Contact your bank and ask then to provide you with the phone number of the issuing bank of the credit card that the buyer provided you with (usually first 6 numbers of the card determines the issuing bank of the card). After that call the bank of the credit card holder and ask to verify the information that ties to this credit card. You will read them the numbers, name, and the full address. The bank will either say the information matches or does not match. If it does not match ask the buyer to update his billing information with the bank, therefore you will need to do the same process one more time. If it matches - great; if it does not match for the second time we recommend you not to proceed with the sale.

Always send shipments with the tracking number

By sending the package with the tracking number you will have the proof that you have sent the item. Also, the buyer will be happier when he/she sees that the package can be tracked right to his door. In addition, by having the tracking number and by having the buyer sign the bill of lading upon receiving the package you will have the confirmation that the item was delivered.

Use insurance to insure the package

By insuring the package you will be covered in case the product gets damaged during transportation. You will be reimbursed for the amount of the ticket you insured the product for.

Do not provide your personal information to unsolicited email requests

Many type of email scams are sent everyday to private email accounts. Oltiby.com will never send you an email with the request to update or provide your sensitive personal information via email.
