Ticketing

If you've already won an auction, you might be limited to the payment choices the seller or the auction site selects. For example, many eBay sellers only accept PayPal and many Amazon.com Auctions sellers only accept Amazon.com Payments.

If you have a choice, follow these tips to choose a more secure service:

•	Read the privacy policy and make sure you agree with it. If you don't, go elsewhere.
•	Check for a stamp of approval from the BBBOnline (the Better Business Bureau Online) or Truste.
•	Find out what others say about the service: check comparison sites such as Epinions or Bizrate.
