Online shopping carries risks of encountering fake goods, imitation goods, or being 'ghosted' by shops. Here is how to spot reputable shops.
Shop Check Checklist
- Join Date: Shop created less than 1 month ago but has thousands of orders? Beware of fake orders (buff orders).
- Reviews: Read 1-star and 2-star reviews carefully. If 5-star reviews are identical templates, it's seeding.
- Price: If a pair of Nike shoes priced at 2 million is sold for 200k, it is definitely fake.
- Contact Channel: Shop asks to transact outside the platform (transfer via Zalo) to avoid platform fees? Do not agree, you will lose protection rights.
Tip: Always record a video when unboxing as evidence for return/refund claims.
