Purchasing a high-value item like the DJI Inspire 4 Drone on ASOS Marketplace requires careful attention to documentation and awareness of potential scams. This guide will help you understand the necessary paperwork and how to protect yourself.
Essential Documentation for Your Drone Purchase
- ✓ Proof of Purchase/Invoice: Ensure you receive a detailed invoice from the seller that includes the drone's model (DJI Inspire 4), serial number, purchase price, and date of sale.
- ✓ Seller's Contact Information: Verify the seller's full name, address, and contact details. Cross-reference this with their ASOS Marketplace profile.
- ✓ Condition Report: If the drone is pre-owned, request a detailed condition report outlining any wear and tear, past repairs, or included accessories.

- ✓ Payment Confirmation: Keep a record of all payment transactions, whether through ASOS Marketplace's secure system or any other agreed-upon method.
Common Scams to Watch Out For
Be vigilant against these prevalent scams, particularly when dealing with high-value electronics like the DJI Inspire 4 Drone:
Off-Platform Payment Lure: Scammers may try to direct you away from ASOS Marketplace's secure payment system to avoid fees and oversight. They might offer a 'better deal' if you pay directly via bank transfer, Zelle, or other unsecure methods. Always use the platform's integrated payment system for transactions.
Shipping Tracking Manipulation: Be wary of sellers who provide fake or manipulated tracking numbers. This can involve creating fake tracking links or claiming a package was sent when it wasn't. Always verify tracking information through official carrier websites.
The Return Swap Scam: In this scam, a seller might accept a return but replace the original item with a different, often cheaper or faulty, product. This is harder to detect with electronics, but be sure to document the condition of your drone thoroughly before shipping it back, if a return is necessary.
Vintage Condition Inflation: While the DJI Inspire 4 Drone might not be 'vintage' in the traditional sense, sellers might misrepresent the condition of a used drone, claiming it's in better shape than it is. Thoroughly inspect photos and descriptions, and if possible, request a video of the drone in operation.
For high-value transactions like purchasing a DJI Inspire 4 Drone, we strongly recommend utilizing Safe Trade Services' Premium Plan for identity verification. This adds an extra layer of security by verifying the identities of both the buyer and seller, ensuring you are dealing with a legitimate individual and significantly reducing the risk of fraud. This is particularly important for items that typically exceed $500.
By staying informed and utilizing available security measures, you can ensure a safe and successful purchase of your DJI Inspire 4 Drone on ASOS Marketplace.
