How to avoid be ripped by customers from all over the world?

Dirty rubbish scamers are everywhere nowadays, do you know how to recognise these rubbish?

I have be ripped many times by UK, Nigeria and US customer,  why?

Becasuse below 2 reasons:

1. some of them use scam payment ways. like Royal bank thrid party pending payment way. But UK Royal bank tell me they dont have this service at all. Lots of scammers try to scam use other bank name unlegal too, even westernunion and moneygram.

2. Some of buyers from UK or other contries, they can cancel the payment  at any time, but china cant do like this, once you do the shipment and send tracking number to them, they will cancel the payment and dont reply you forever.

Above is my personal past experince for you refference. Pls take my suggestions if you are new seller on web.

Hi berysteel, Thanks for this warning. But aren't there safeguards like Irrevocable LCs?

LC no problem. but this payment way only suit to big orders, because its bank fee, gurranty fee and lots of related fees are very high. To some small orders, bank transfer, westernunion, moneygram, paypal, Credit card is your best choice.
