* Avoid giving your personal details like bank account number or personal information unless the page is secure i.e. the web page uses encryption to secure the data. secure web pages start with “https” instead of “http”.
* Check for the taxes and the extra cost you have to pay for the commodity even if it is second hand. The Mrp should ideally include the shipping and postage expanses.
