Seller Safety Tips

Jon-Don takes every precaution to insure that all online transactions, including sales of used truck mount equipment, are safe for both the buyer and the seller. Unfortunately, big-ticket transactions such as equipment sales sometimes attract scammers looking to make a quick buck. Protect yourself from these unscrupulous people by following a few simple tips:

1. NEVER pay anything up front for ANY reason.
2. NEVER extend credit for ANY reason.
3. NEVER do ANYTHING until the check clears – even when you’re paid with a cashier’s check. This may take up to 10 business days.
4.  Insist on payment for the exact amount of the sale.  NEVER accept an overpayment and NEVER agree to reimburse the buyer for the difference.
5. Avoid long-distance sales, particularly those involving buyers outside the United States.

When in-doubt, remember the adage:  “If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”
