When you talk about online shopping, the first thing that comes to mind is Amazon. The platform is also suitable for small retailers to sell their products. But there are black sheep there too!
There seems to be an increasing number of retailers appearing on Amazon who offer technology products at unusually low prices. Here we show you an example:
In the example above, three new retailers are offering the “Nintendo Switch”, which normally costs over 300 euros, at prices between 98 euros and 199 euros, and in new condition. As a comparison, the picture shows the realistic price of 280 euros for a used device, which is offered directly by Amazon.
While the names of the dealers, Jesse Kim and Ariana Schroeder, still sound unsuspicious, the dealer “Jyfg Hdfxgdftg” is confusing. It looks more like someone hit their head on the keyboard!
A closer look at the dealers
Especially because Amazon is a sales platform and therefore many items do not come directly from Amazon, you should always take a closer look at the retailer you want to purchase from. Let's take a look at the information from the retailers above:
Sure so far?
The business name and address consist of a gibberish of letters that sound vaguely Chinese, but they all have the country code CN for China in common. In addition, retailers do not provide return and refund policies.
Money gone, what now?
With such dealers you can strongly assume that you will never receive any goods and that the dealer will not respond to contact via Amazon. In addition, Amazon offers an A-to-z guarantee , but it is questionable whether this also applies to retailers who are probably not even reachable by Amazon itself.
Conclusion
If a product seems too cheap, you should always be careful. There are also black sheep on Amazon who trust that many users will quickly click on the “Buy” button without questioning where the goods come from.
