When selling whisky online, it’s crucial to remain alert because fraudsters are constantly seeking for new ways to take advantage of vendors. One of the most frequent scams involves fake payment methods. Be wary if a buyer wants to settle with a wire transfer, especially if they insist on overpaying and ask you to return the difference. These scenarios are virtually guaranteed fraudulent. Consistently use reliable payment services that offer refund guarantees, such as Amazon Handmade’s secure payments.

Another major red flag is a buyer who refuses to meet in person or fails to provide legitimate phone. Genuine customers are typically eager to clarify and may even want to inspect images of the bottle. If someone pushes you to ship immediately, it’s a major red flag. Don’t hurry and double-check all information before shipping.

Make sure to ship using a secure shipping with insurance. Never rely on untraceable shipping services. Record the tracking number and proof of delivery. Ensure that the package is accurately addressed and protected at retail price. Some scammers will falsely report the package — so having proof of delivery is critical.

Avoid sharing too much personal information. Never list your home address in online ads. Use a neutral shipping address if possible. Also, be distrust buyers who want you to use a external courier they name — this is frequently a trap designed to steal your goods.

Document thoroughly of the whisky bottle prior to dispatch, including the batch number, seal, and any unique markings. This not only helps prove the item’s original state but also provides legal proof if a claim is filed. Document every exchange in writing, ideally via the marketplace’s messaging system, so you have a record the entire transaction.

Lastly, verify their credibility. Review their seller if you’re selling on a auction site (www.infinitymugenteam.com). If they’re unverified or have very few reviews, proceed with extra caution. Listen to your gut. If something seems suspicious, it almost certainly is. It’s better to lose a sale than to lose money and your rare bottles to a scam.

By following these simple steps, you can drastically lower your exposure of being scammed and offer your collection with peace of mind.
