Buy PS5: Dangers when buying from third parties – you have to consider that
How to shop safely: Basically, when you buy from a retailer, you can be relatively sure that your product will arrive. However, you should also take a close look here. If payment is offered via PayPal or another type of buyer protection, then the offer should be safe. If you should only pay by bank transfer (advance payment), you should prick up your ears.
There are many risks, especially when buying via eBay classifieds. Pay there only with the payment method from eBay classifieds or with PayPal. With PayPal, however, you should not use the “Friends and Family” function, as you have no buyer protection there. By the way, you can always pay with PayPal via eBay. In the event of fraud, you will get your money back. If you don’t want to spend more money, you should check out our live ticker about buying a PS5. There you will not miss a drop in Germany.
