Is Wshamu.com legitimate?

Hi

Wshamu.com lists PayPal on their website, but they have only been trading for six months and I would like to check that this is not a scam website before placing an order.

 

Is there a way of verifying websites who use PayPal?

 

Thanks

Thanks,

I thought it was too good an offer and went with a UK firm as I didn't want to risk it.

Check its 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............thats because 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 nearly always 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. No company address information.
4. Great looking items at bargain prices that turn out to be tat.
