Cheap MP3 Player - tips, advice and help on shopping for your MP3 player

Here’s a list of tips you should consult when shopping online for your MP3 player. If you want to find a cheap mp3 player, you'll need to do your homework.

Trust your instincts. If you don’t feel comfortable buying or bidding on a player over the web, or if you feel pressured to place your order immediately, maybe you shouldn’t.

Be knowledgeable about web-based auctions. Take special care to familiarize yourself not only with the rules and policies of the auction site itself but with the legal terms (warranties, refund policy, etc.) of the seller’s MP3 players that you wish to bid on.

Double check pricing. Whether the MP3 player is being sold as new or used, be suspicious of prices that are too good to be true. Remember, a cheap mp3 player doesn't mean a lesser quality. Just a better price. Also consider carefully whether you may be paying too much for your player, particularly if you’re bidding through an auction site. You may want to comparison shop, online or offline, before you buy.

Find and read the privacy policy. Read the privacy policy carefully to find out what information the seller is gathering from you, how the information will be used, and how you can stop the process. If a site does not have a privacy policy posted, you may not want to do business with that site. If it does have a privacy policy, there will probably be a link to it from the seller’s home page, or it could be included with the Legal Terms.

Review the return, refund, and shipping and handling policies as well as the other legal terms. If you can’t find them, ask the seller through an e-mail or telephone call to indicate where they are on the site or to provide them to you in writing.

Check that the Internet connections are secure. Before you give your payment information, there are various icons and software programs that indicate that security software is in place.

Use the safest way to pay on the Internet. Pay for your order using a credit card.

Print the terms. You should print out and date a copy of terms, conditions, warranties, item description, company information, even confirming e-mails, and save them with your records of your purchase.

Insure the safe delivery of your item. If you’re concerned about the safety of your package if there’s no one home to receive it, ask whether you can specify that the shipper must receive a signature before leaving the package. Or, it may be safer to have the package delivered to your office.

Inspect your new MP3 player. Look at your player carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact the seller as soon as possible if you discover a problem with it. Tell the seller in writing about any problem that you are concerned with, ask for a repair or refund, and keep a copy of your correspondence.
