Tips To Avoid Frauds, When Shopping online "Safe Shopping"

Shopping online is cool almost everybody like to do shopping online But there is also a slight risk of fraud. The person from who you are buying something is a virtual entity and before you pay the money - even in the case of the cash on delivery - you do so before actually seeing the product in real. So how can you avoid fraudsters and minimise the risk while shopping online? Follow these steps.


Buy from "official" sellers
When shopping online make sure you buy your products from official online websitelike Jumia, Dealdey, Konga etc Don't buy product from any online shopping websiteyou see just because their products are cheap.  most of the official website offers guarantee.

Seller rating is important

Before you hit the buy button, check the seller rating. This is especially true for websites like eBay and Snapdeal. Ideally, you should buy from sellers who have done lots of transactions, say something 50 or more, and have a rating of more than 90 per cent or four stars. A good rating means the seller is efficient and is doing business in a professional and serious way.

On eBay use PaisaPay

While cash-on-delivery is a great way to shop, it is not always the safest, especially for eBay transactions. On eBay, if you use PaisaPay, the seller is not paid until you have got your goods and are satisfied with what you have got. If there is some problem, eBay withholds the money, steps in and tries to resolve the problem. This means your money is safe and in case the seller can't satisfy you, there is an option for you to cancel the transaction and get the money back. But this works only if you use PaisaPay. If you choose to pay seller directly, eBay can't help you much.

If it is too good to be true, avoid it

We all are familiar with the online shopping horror stories. In most cases, it is something like this: A person sees an expensive product selling for a ridiculously low price. He or she orders it. When the product is delivered it turns out to be a few pieces of stone or a plastic or something similar.

If you come across a deal that is too good to be true, it probably is. The only way you should go for extraordinarily good deals is if they are offered by reliable sellers or official sellers. If it is from someone on eBay who has a seller rating of 50% and has done only 20 transactions, avoid it.
