Type of a scam Online Purchase
ApplePay Seller….. started the transaction through ApplePay Buyer Protection Program! After verifying the membership of this specific member and confirming his overall good standing, we have approved the development of this transaction based on Seller’s purchase protection account on the file with ApplePay Safety Department.
Five easy steps to complete your ApplePay transactions:
1. Buyer and Seller Agree to Terms: Both parties agree to terms of the transaction, which includes a description of the Vehicle, sale price and 5 days for the Buyer’s inspection. Any invoices that are not paid within 48 hours will expire and your Vehicle will no longer be reserved.
2. Buyer Pays ApplePay: If a Buyer is new to ApplePay, Credit/Debit card or PayPal is allowed if amount is not greater than $500.
3. Seller Ships the Vehicle: upon payment verification, the Seller is authorized to ship the vehicle and submit tracking information. ApplePay verifies that the Buyer receives the vehicle. The inspection period begins once the Vehicle is delivered.
4. Buyer receives the Vehicle: The Buyer has 5 days to verify the item and the option to accept or reject. Return shipping will be at the Seller’s expense.
5. The Seller is Paid by ApplePay: The transaction is complete. If the buyer is not satisfied, he must notify our agency with the item issues, after the inspection period. A solution to most problems can usually be negotiated between the Buyer and Seller. If this is not possible, the Buyer will receive the money from our trust account.
In case the Buyer refuse to continue the transaction with the Seller from other reasons, our agency will return the funds to the Buyer.
