	FCIC: Internet Auctions
		But online auctions can be risky business, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a federal agency that works to prevent fraud, deception and unfair practices in the marketplace.
		If it’s an online payment service, find out whether it offers buyers any recourse if sellers don’t keep their end of the bargain, whether it prevents sellers from accessing their funds if buyers are not satisfied with the product, and who is responsible for paying for credit card charge backs or transaction reversal requests.
		While many auction sites monitor their sites to ensure that illegal items are not being offered, the responsibility for ensuring that a sale is legal rests with the seller and buyer.
