Many scammers in online shopping

During the Covid-19 pandemic, shopping for groceries has shifted to online seller sites. They compete to offer goods at very low and sometimes unreasonable prices. But be careful and don't be fooled by cheap prices, because now many sellers on online sites sell goods with quality far below the original. Many have fallen victims because they were deceived. Buy items only in authorized stores on these shopping sites.

If I'm doubtful about the seller, I don't buy. So far I have never been scammed yet. I hope not.

If you read the news on the internet, maybe you know that scammers existed before the pandemic and even worse, they are from foreigners in our own country.

I happen to always choose local sellers because the prices are cheaper, unfortunately more disappointing.

@Babale You have to really check where their location is, and how many people buy their products, and one more thing is the reviews are good or not, if in doubt you should use COD.

Scammers exist even before the pandemic. We need to be careful. We can buy from those we know personally or from trusted companies.

@Babale As much as possible I want to buy on physical stores. But I also buy online from time to time. I haven't encountered buying a low quality product. I read reviews on the product and the seller before I buy.

When I shop on Amazon I very rarely buy stuff that is not sold directly by Amazon. I am hesitant to buy stuff from 3rd-party sellers.

@Babale Sometimes they cost much less but shipping is much higher.

I agree. Most people are willing to buy goods from third parties because they are cheaper. In fact, the fall is more expensive, because goods are damaged more quickly.

That's right, yesterday I bought a cheap smartphone for 10 $ with the COD payment method. But after reading the review from the buyer who sent only a pair of flip-flops, I immediately canceled the transaction.

Yes you really have to be careful when you go into a site that you are not familiar with.
