Buying & Selling Thru Ebay & Other Auctions - Safety of selling jewelry on ebay


Expert: Suzanne Wells - 1/18/2009

Question
I have a diamond ring that I would like to sell.  I see the protection in place for buyers, but how can I be sure that if I send my ring to someone they won't switch the diamond and then return the ring to me?

Answer
Hi, thanks for your question.

You can't be sure that someone won't switch the diamond and return it to you. Every sale on eBay involves risk. If you aren't willing to take that risk, you probably don't want to sell it on eBay.

You might try selling it locally through Craigslist.

Good luck,

Suzanne Wells
