You’re probably thinking, why didn’t I get this set up when I was setting up my PayPal and eBay accounts. Basically because this is a service you have to pay for. It’s also a service that you don’t need until you’re ready to start auctioning your product or service. So why pay for something early on when you’re not quite ready to use it?

SquareTrade works hand-n-hand with leading internet businesses such as eBay, Yahoo!, Google, the California Association of REALTORS®, and the US Federal Trade Commission's econsumer.gov program, as well as thousands of online merchants, helping millions of consumers shop safely every month.
So what does all this mean to you?
At a cost of about $10 per month, SquareTrade will provide you and your customers, added protection and real value.
If you don’t start with SquareTrade right away, be sure to keep it on your list as a must for your auctions as it adds a level of credibility that many auctions just don’t provide. Since you are paying a monthly fee, you will want to wait until you are ready to launch your first auction.
When you sign up for SquareTrade, you will receive a logo for use on your site that identifies you as a qualified SquareTrade member. To begin using SquareTrade, signup at SquareTrade.com.
Be sure to add your SquareTrade logo to your About Me Page’s warranty section, and your auction template.
