How To Prevent Being Lied To By Fake Online Boutiques. Buying clothing from online boutiques, especially from Facebook and Instagram, has become a trend.
Buying clothing from online boutiques, especially from Facebook and Instagram, has become a trend. However, with buying clothes from online boutiques has also come with horrific outcomes. If it’s not because of some of the terribly priced clothing, it’s the issue of fake items or the issue of outrage of not getting what you ordered. Luckily there are several ways to see a fake online boutique store.
Pricing Should Be Set Already
If the company doesn’t tell you the price of the item from the get go, don’t engage! A company should already have the pricing of an item on the post, you don’t need to send a Direct Message in order to get the price.
Payment Options
W24 reportedly stated that a social media user realised that some online sites have awkward limitations on payments. The stores might say that they don’t allow payments from Mastercard or Visa, these stores allow payments from PayPal or unsafe payment tools.
Designers Items Should Be Sold At The Designer Stores Too
When it comes to designer items, if the item is not being traded at the labels own store then…You guessed it. Don’t buy it! If the item is not sold at the store then there’s a high possibility that it be fake.
Google The Image (Reverse Search)
Look up the image of the item sold at the online boutique because there’s a chance that the item’s picture is taken from Google. Some of the pictures are just edited a bit to fool some buyers into thinking that the item comes in different colours.
Stay safe in these online shopping streets peeps!!!
