Sorry we can't check out every site folks post on here and assess their safety for you.
Suggest you do your own research and then risk assess your transaction.
Make sure they are not one of these >>>
Chinese Web Sites or on Social Media ads easy to spot (once you know the below signs) so buyer beware.
1. No return address on the returns policy. The site will look as if its in your country (where they despatch goods from) but they will ask for returns to go back to China (returns depot) at a shipping cost often more than the item is worth.
2. No contact telephone number. if you click on contact the most you will get is webmail or an email address.
3. Rarely company address information.
4. Great pictures of items at bargain prices that turn out to be tat.
5. Fake reviews.
6. Google and you can often see previous company names as they change them once enough claims roll in and Paypal stop them using their services and start over.
7. Send fake tracking numbers to win item non receipt of item claims.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

I have a similar concern.
I bought a laptop that was advertised in Facebook. I paid through Paypal with my Paypal-linked Debit Card as source of fund. The receipt sent to my email by Paypal bears the name "HeFa ECommerce Group" as payee but the seller is mjmly.shop. It's been a few days now since I paid, yet there appears in the webpage of the seller the status of "AWAITING SHIPMENT".
