Methodology to mitigate the inherent risk of buying in Internet marketplaces.

Buying at sites such as Aliexpress, Temu, Shein, Amazon or Ebay can be safe if you follow a methodology.

This guide will help you detect potentially false sellers and protect your money and not only serve to Assisted Purchases in Refesite but for any purchase you make on the Internet.

SELLER VERIFICATION: Understanding badges per platform

Each marketplace has its own qualification and verification system. It is crucial to understand how they work:

• Aliexpress: Offers badges such as "top brand" or "preferred seller" based on performance metrics. The risk here is that some sellers can temporarily manipulate their metrics to obtain these badges and then lower the quality.
• Amazon: It has the "Amazon's Choice" and "Best Seller" system. Amazon's Choice is based on algorithms of popularity and satisfaction, but does not guarantee that it is the best product, only the most purchased in its category.
• eBay: Use a system of stars and "top rated seller" that considers sales, response time and return policies. The risk is that some vendors can press buyers to leave good reviews.
• Temu and Shein: They are more opaque in their verification systems. Shein has "top reviews" but is based mainly on sales volume, not necessarily in verified quality.

The triad of reliability: profile, reviews and sales

Before buying, check these three key elements on the seller's page:

• Time and reputation of the seller: How long is it active?. Look for its general score (eg, 95% or more is usually safe).
• Review Analysis: Read recent and detailed reviews. Pay attention to comments on material quality, photos of buyers, delivery time and customer service.
• Sales history: A product with a high number of sales (eg, 10,000+) is usually more reliable than one with 10 sales.

Specific risks per platform

• Aliexpress: High risk of products that do not match the photos. Very variable delivery times.
• Temu: Inconsistent quality and possible use of personal data for advertising purposes.
• Shein: Non -standardized sizes and unpredictable materials.
• Amazon: Inventory mixture between legitimate vendors and counterfeiters in the same listing.
• eBay: Automatic auctions that can make you pay more for common products.

Quality-price balance and risk

• Distrust of incredibly low prices: If an iPhone is sold for $ 20, it is almost certain that it is a scam or a very low quality replica.
• At greater price, greater care: For expensive items, double verifications. One mistake hurts more.

Smart Purchase Strategy

• Diversify your orders: Avoid gathering many high -risk products in a single cart. If the shipment is economical, divide your purchase into several orders.
• Do not fall into the "lightning offer": Time pressure clouds your judgment. If it is a bargain, take 5 minutes to verify the seller.
