Auctions

Excited about Internet auctions? Here are some tips for making savvy deals: * Before buying, pay close attention to the online feedback comments about a seller. Buyers rate their experiences and comment on them. * Note the shipping fees; avoid unpleasant surprises. * Buyers and sellers — use your credit card. Buyers can stop payment if sellers fail to act as promised; sellers can avoid bounced checks. * Check out Pay Pal's supplemental fraud protection insurance. * Consider using escrow services for expensive purchases. They'll hold the fee until the item is received in good condition. Generous Adventures — is a nonprofit travel auction that regularly hosts bidding to benefit the environment and is based in Alaska.
