Why buy from a pet auction site ?
There are many reasons to buy from an online pet auction site. One of the most important being safety. Most pet auction sites have a feedback system in place. Feedback systems help insure you will get what you pay for. Another good reason is pet auction sites often have very good prices! Why buy a tropical fish from a web store for 10.00 when you can buy it on Aquabid.com for 5.00. One of my favorite reasons for shopping online pet auction web sites is selection. Most of the bigger sites have thousands of pet related auctions running. With all those choices you are sure to find something that catch's your eye.
What type of seller should you look for?
When buying from an online pet auction site you should take care to only buy from sellers who have a high percentage rate of positive feedback. Try to avoid sellers with a low amount of feedback especially on items that are rather pricey. Most online pet auction sites have escrow services in place for larger purchases. We recommend you use them on any purchase over 200 dollars.
Price to good to be true ?
Sometimes scummers will try there luck at pet auction sites. If you find a 800 dollar fish for sale for 100 dollars take care to investigate the seller. Feedback is one good method. How many sells has the seller made? How many of them have resulted in positive feedback? If a seller has only a few positive feedback from recent sells try to determine if perhaps he used a second account to give the illusion of a positive sell. Another way to determine a sellers legitimacy is ask if they have a web site. Many scammers will not take the time to put up a professional web site.
