Buying Tanning Lotion on Craigslist or Kijiji

Craigslist and Kijiji are very similar as they are online classified ads websites that allow people to list items that they have for sale. I really don’t recommend buying tanning lotion from these sites as the majority of it is used, and I find this not very sanitary. Not to mention there are lots of other ways to buy cheap and new tanning lotion online such as, eBay or Amazon. But if you must buy tanning lotion from a classified ads website there are a few things you need to know.
To begin with, there are basically two scenarios when it comes to buying from classified ads websites. First, the item is being sold locally so you can pay cash for the item when you go to pick it up. Second, the item is being sold in another city, and the seller will mail it to you after they receive your payment. It is safest to only using Craigslist and Kijiji for local items. This is because you can see the product before you pay the seller. You know exactly what you are getting. If for some reason when you go to pick up the item and it is not exactly what you agreed to purchase you can always change your mind.
If you do decide to purchase an item from another city, which is not very safe, there are a few things you need to know. Do not give your credit card information to the seller and do not send the money via money order such as Western Union. Only use PayPal, because, if something goes wrong, there is change you might be able to get your money back. There are a lot of scammers on sites like Craigslist and Kijiji, so you need to be extra cautious when using this option, the principle of Buyer Beware really applies in this case. If something appears too good to be true, then it probably is, as it is most likely a scam.
