How Elite Miniatures Protects Buyers and Sellers from Scammers
At Elite Miniatures, we’re committed to creating a safe and trusted environment for miniature cattle breeders and buyers. While online platforms have revolutionized the livestock industry, our industry they’ve also introduced challenges like scammers and fraudulent transactions. That’s why we’ve implemented robust measures to protect both buyers and sellers on our platform.
However, it’s important to note that while we take every precaution to ensure a secure auction experience, no system is completely foolproof, and Elite Miniatures cannot guarantee against all risks.
Our Security Measures
1. Buyer Verification
All buyers who participate in our auctions must go through a credit card verification process. This step ensures that only serious, legitimate bidders are allowed to participate, reducing the risk of fraudulent activity.
2. Seller Double Verification
To maintain the highest standards, all sellers and their animals are subject to a thorough double-verification process:
- Zoom Video Inspections: Sellers must provide live video proof of each consigned animal to confirm its identity, condition, and traits.
- UC Davis Testing: Animals are required to have genetic testing through UC Davis, providing buyers with added confidence in the quality of their purchase. Sellers are also required to have a health certificate from thier veterinarian.
3. Commitment to Transparency
We require detailed and accurate descriptions for all consignments, along with high-quality photos and videos, to ensure buyers have a clear understanding of each animal before placing a bid.
Your Role in a Secure Transaction
While Elite Miniatures takes significant steps to reduce risks, it’s important for buyers and sellers to take their own precautions as well:
- Buyers: Carefully review all listing details, including photos, videos, and descriptions. If you have questions about a consignment, don’t hesitate to ask before bidding.
- Sellers: Ensure all information provided is accurate and honest to maintain transparency and trust.
By working together, we can create a positive and secure environment for everyone involved.
Limitations of Liability
Although we have designed a comprehensive system to minimize risks, Elite Miniatures cannot guarantee that all transactions will be free from fraudulent activity. Our measures significantly reduce the chances of scams, but no system is completely immune.
As a participant in our auctions, you acknowledge that you assume responsibility for verifying the details of your transactions and understand that Elite Miniatures cannot be held liable for issues arising from fraudulent activity, disputes, or misrepresentation.
