Generally, two types of online auction fraud are classified:Seller Fraud and Buyer Fraud


Seller Fraud => This kind of fraud happen more in the past which occurs when a seller fails to deliver goods after taking payment from a buyer.


Buyer Fraud => While this fraud happens to the seller when buyer pledges to purhase product but fail to make payment. It can happen in eBay or any online markets. Such fraud can take different forms, when a buyer refuse to pay for his winning bid, or buyer reversing payment after payment is made. This lead to buyer in eBay to loose listing fees, and have to find new potential buyers it lower price.
