Online crooks are getting smarter and smarter as time pass by which makes it scary to buy in the online store. But sometimes, with the great deals and savings we can get from buying online, we are always tempted to shop and purchase. But people are now becoming cautious of the websites they are visiting especially when the news about the DhGate scam has become far and wide. And because of this prevailing issue, it affected the sales of some prominent online stores on the internet today including Amazon, eBay, Ocentailer, Shopify, BuyDBest, and Salehoo. But fret no more, because in aims to protect the best interest of loyal customers of online store, Salehoo shares the signs you must look in an online store that will give you a hint that they are fake.
Indirect Url address – most of the legit online stores uses domain addresses that directly pinpoints the name of the online store. This means that their domain address is paid and that they are legit while fake online stores utilize web services where domain address is provided for free like the weebly.com. Poor product picture – there are tons of pictures online about the products and crooks can easily upload them on their website. And what will distinguish the legit online store from fake ones? The web designs. Legit online stores spend a couple of bucks to get the best web design for their platform. They won’t settle for free sites like Geocities and Weebly.
Unclear refund policy – if the online stores were able to give you a clear refund policy as well as precise terms and conditions, then you’ve come to the right place. Fake online stores tend to provide you their refund policy, but you’ll see lots of loopholes that make them suspicious. Not existing designs – some fake online stores joined the bandwagon if there are products that became very viral that they even include it in their product list and have them introduced on having lots of other designs, which in reality does not really exist. So before you purchase a product, make sure if it really exists by looking on other online stores that sells it.
Poor product description – prominent online stores does not want bad English on their product descriptions because it will greatly affect their reputation. They buy product reviews that are well written to avoid any language barrier.
