In order to avoid fraud, you have to perform triple check (even more in some cases) the information accuracy provided by the seller. The first to do is go to the website. If the website is real, you can check the website through several page rank checkers and website popularity checkers such as Checkpagerank.net and Alexa.com. If the result of page-rank check is good, you still have to check the correctness of the number of visitors and monthly income data. To check the number of visitors, you can ask the seller to give you his Google Analytic account, so you can check the real visitors to the website. To check the monthly income, you can check by asking the seller to provide video-shot instead of screenshot. Several sellers try to manipulate screenshot but if you ask for video-shot, the sellers cannot cheat you. You must avoid sellers that do not give access to this information.

Are You Ready To Manage A Website?

Managing a website is not easy, even when you buy an automated website. The benefit that people get when they establish websites from zero position is that they know how to manage the websites. They know every part of the website so whenever there is a problem, they can immediately fix the problem. If you want to buy well-established website, you must understand every part of a website such coding, content, etc, so you can get income as you have expected.

The Actual price of a Website

The price of a website is tightly related to the quality. For beginners, it is better to buy website which is sold at 12x of its monthly income.

Payment

Payment system is very important for both buyers and sellers. Both sides do not want to face fraud. Using middleman such as Escrow.com to secure all payment activities will guarantee that all transaction is safe for both buyers and sellers. Using Paypal is also recommended because this online payment system has freeze payment feature to help get your fund back when the seller try to cheat you.
