Avoid 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.
Read up on buyer protection as it is not an insurance policy or 100% guarantee of protection. Then you can see what cover you do and do not get and risk assess your transactions.
Also make sure you activate the 'return shipping on us' link if you go ahead with something and have to return it if you win a dispute (if available in your country).
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
