Online shopping has become an essential part of many of our lives. When shopping at big retailers like Walmart and Amazon, you may have noticed that some products are sold by third-party sellers and not the company themselves. In other words, if you buy these products, they are sold by another retailer and may not have the same terms of sales and return policy. Third-party sellers also have varying levels of credibility. While this can be convenient and offers the consumer more options, some precautions should be taken to protect yourself.
You should always confirm who the seller is before making a purchase. The product details and description should indicate where the item is coming from. If the seller is not the big retailer and simply using their platform, investigate the smaller company via product reviews and websites like the Better Business Bureau. Deals that seem too good to be true usually are!
Finally, make sure you understand the return policy for this company. It’s also a good idea to check if the big retailer has any policies regarding third parties.
