The idea is that the first 5 steps should be enough to check most online stores. You can safely order the right thing (although it is better first time to order cod with payment upon receipt). But if the purchase is very expensive and you still worry about the safety of their funds, there are other ways to check.

  • On this website you can see how long and to whom the registered domain of the store. If the domain was registered recently on a private person or is placed abroad is an occasion to reflect.
  • It is easy to see the citation index. For example, with the help of this tool you can determine the citation of many resources. Also, the ranking of the site can be found here (registration required). Large online store will show the citation index of a few thousand in the fake website, he will be near zero.
  • Check the company information through the website of the Federal tax service. Please, visit the site in the section "Electronic services", click "Check yourself and the contractor," the beat INN or OGRN of the company. Click "Search". So you can find out whether the registered company, whether it exists now or perhaps the website uses data to another organization.

Even if you are 100% sure in the store — there's no guarantee that you will like the purchase. To avoid disappointment, check the following:

  • The dimensions of the goods. The photo can distort the actual size of the items. This is often used by unscrupulous sellers. In the photo the item looks large but in the description in small print are the actual dimensions. If you are after receiving the package to decide to return the money, you politely hint that was worth to read carefully the description.
  • Dimensional grid of clothes. Here it is not even in the distortion of the photos, and in the selection of its size. Different manufacturers size chart may differ considerably. Do not look at labels, ask the seller a dimension table in inches and calculate the right size on the parameters.
  • Colors. Even in life, each person sees color differently, and so through the screen even more. The monitor can greatly distort colors, and what you think of the crimson, life will be coral. If the shade of things has a for you essential, ask the seller to take a picture of the product "live" to be able to compare the photo on the website and a photo in natural lighting. It slightly minimizes the risk not to guess the shade.
  • Composition. Be it food, clothing or even appliances, it is better to carefully study the composition of the materials constituting the vending thing. In the photo the Jersey may look like silk, plastic — like ceramics, and the phone being an exact copy of the famous brand. But the description and technical characteristics most often write the truth. Your task is to find her.
