Common Scam Warning Signs
Too Good to Be True Pricing
If a rare card is listed significantly below market value, proceed with caution. Research the card's actual value before buying.
Requests for Off-Platform Payments
Legitimate sellers will never ask you to pay via Venmo, Zelle, gift cards, or cryptocurrency. Always use AbdiTrade's secure checkout.
Pressure to Act Quickly
Scammers often create urgency to prevent you from thinking clearly. Take your time to verify listings and sellers.
Suspicious Communication
Be wary of sellers who avoid answering questions, refuse to provide additional photos, or seem evasive about card condition.
