How to avoid being scammed by sellers online

[freelancermaria]

I was scammed before, so I got more cautious. I normally shop from online stores with nearly perfect ratings. In addition, I check reviews and usually choose COD or cash on delivery.

For me l am really very vigilant when dealing with my cash online. I am not interested in the buying items online. When the needs arise l buy from the most genuine merchants online.

I think one can always avoid that by patronizing on the genuine and trusted online brands.

I think there is need for the senisitization on the public about the cyber bullying and sort of things.

How can you verify if an online seller is trusted when there are so many fake paid reviews everywhere online.

I always experienced scam online but I promised not to let a seller scam me again. I opened the parcel before paying.

We can go for trusted sellers only and can check their rating before buying from them and can also opt for payment on delivery and that can help

To avoid getting scammed, investigate. Read feedback and if worse comes to worse open the parcel before paying if pay thru COD.

I think one should really be very cautious on that as so many people have fallen victims for that.

Always check reviews, ratings and feedbacks of the customers. Always remember if the rates are relatively lower then there are chances of its being a scam.

Use paypal as a payment. Paypal allows you to file a dispute in case your seller cheats on you. This is the best way to avoid online scams

Reviews can be really helpful when deciding to patronize an online business. With that, you can identify scam.

You said it right. We can determine through reading the customers' feedback. Although I heard that some companies pay people to give good feedbacks.

Yes for any online buying it is good to go for option to pay upon delivery of the items.You pay for the items upon delivery to be sure of what you are buying.

As far as it is not a mainstream seller, you have to opt for payment on delivery. It is safer that way.

In order to avoid being scammed by sellers online, one should research about the seller. One should check reviews, the ratings, and feedbacks from other customers. One should also check if the seller is authorized to sell the product.

We can avoid it by not anymore buying anything online. Or buy only to credible online sellers with good reputation.
