Guys, I've recently bought a notebook off EGAY for 1.5k. The seller had 1 feedback and he was auctioning a couple other notebooks at the same time. He offers COD to all buyers which suppose to be good for the buyer side. However, I'm concerned that after I hand out my payment (MO) to the mail man, in case I find out something wrong/suspicious about the notebook, and that he's a potential scammer, I have no way trace my back my money?
Can I open up the box before giving the MO to the mail man to make sure that the item i'm recieving is legit?
And if i find out that i'm really being scam, can i just tell the mail man that i do not accept the package and ask him to send it back to the seller?
May i ask what are some of the alternative to protect myself against this kind of the potential fraud?
Thank you in advance for your input.
