eBay is the world’s largest online auction website that offers thousands of autographs for sale everyday. When buying autographs on eBay how do we know if they are legit. Here are a few tips below to help guide you on purchasing your next autograph on eBay.

First, we need to research the seller and find out a little about them through their ?About Me? page, if they have one.

Second, look at the seller?s feedback and see how their ratings reflect their experience in dealing with selling autographs.

III. View the seller’s current auctions to see what they have available. Check out the prices of the items and the amount of items they have of each celebrity or famous person. If the item is priced very cheaply especially for a huge name in the industry, then most likely it is fake.

4. Check to see if the seller is listings as private. When a seller sells something listed as private they are hiding something. Fake autographs are what they are hiding and these seller’s are afraid other people within eBay that will contact these buyers of their fake autographs and tell them they are not legit. This would totally ruin the seller’s reputation.

5. Find a dealer that is honest and has nothing to hide like private listings. Also an honest dealer has great feedback with complete openness of honesty within his auctions, about me page, feedback and prices of items.

6. You should always do research on the autograph you tend to buy. Make sure you know what it looks like and find authentic signatures to do a comparison of the one on eBay being offered.

Follow the tips above and you will find that honest dealer and get that special authentic autograph you were looking for.
