FREDERICK, MD – (October 6, 2010) – Online auctions have become a popular and lucrative online arena. Many people are getting entertainment value out of it as well. They are often still interested in seeing what is being offered, where the prices are at, and how much time may still be left on a particular item. For those that choose to buy, it is important that they take steps to ensure that they avoid the online auction fraud that does exist. 

“Online auctions not only offer a moving inventory which is ever-changing, but also provide a good source of entertainment for many shoppers,” explains PJ Bellomo, chief executive officer for PropertyRoom.com. “You want to be able to cash in on great online deals, but you have to do it in a safe manner or your savings will end up costing you.”
