Have you ever patronized any vendor on the gram before? How was the experience if you have.
Instagram hosts a number of genuine sellers but also has its share of fake online stores. To avoid falling for a scam, the key is to take your time and assess the product as well as the seller objectively. Don’t fall into a scammer’s trap over a beautifully composed photograph – these are often stolen from other profiles. Your first step should be to look for the same product on other sites and if the seller is not genuine, you are likely to spot the same photo on one of these other sites.
You should also look for contact information so you can interact with the seller. Don’t be shy about asking questions with regard to the product. You can even ask for a photo of how it looks in natural light. Genuine sellers are generally happy to comply. Always ask for the Pay on Delivery option or use a platform that safeguards your money like PayPal to transfer payment. Fake sellers often draw users in by offering them amazing products at heavily marked down prices so be very wary of deals that seem too good to be true.
I’ve patronized a few vendors on Instagram, I had good experiences with some while I’ve had very bad experiences with some. The truth is, the risk level of ordering something from Amazon is almost the same as buying things from the gram. The advice I’ll give to you is to buy things that require payment on delivery. That way, you know that if you don’t get your items, you don’t have anything to lose.
