Check the bidding activity in your online auctions before the close of bidding. If your item receives bids from those you believe to be fraudulent, you can cancel their bid before the end of the auction. Check the policies at the site you use as the rules vary from site to site. In the alternative, you can restrict bidding in your auctions at many sites to only those bidders who are pre-approved to cast bids.

Before launching an online apparel store, you should have the experiences of using a store.

Discuss the details of the apparel product with your customer and offer a warranty agreement. If the transaction goes well, ask the buyer for a positive review.
