One of the biggest problems general marketplaces like Craigslist, Google Base, Oodle, and Vast have to deal with is fraud and scams! Because our flyers are published into general marketplaces, we are not immune to the problem and are constantly on the alert for fraudulent activity.
We have recently added some new features to flyers (only in certain categories – specifically consumer electronics and certain computer items) to warn potential buyers to be on the lookout for fraud and common scams.
A warning message will appears at the top of flyers in the electronics and computers for sale if there is any suspicion of fraud (incomplete, missing or mismatching information, fraud ‘trigger’ words, user complaints or flagging, i.e.). Buyers can remove the warnings by simply clicking on the minimize link to the right of the warning.
You can also visit the vFlyer Support Wiki for more information on avoiding fraud and scams.
