How do you tell if a website is legit?

I want to buy a purse off wto-sell and I’m not sure how to check whether it is a legit website. I tried to google it but nothing stuck out.

Answer #1

If you’re looking to purchase something, you could always check out their information and try to actually call them. Usually each website has a “contact us” area, which displays this information. If they don’t have a contact page, do a whois on them. [http://funadvice.com/r/3kiou19mg0] That will give you their information.

Last, but not least, if you go google them, google their site with keywords such as “scam”, “ripoff”, or something even like “sucks”. This will usually get you some very good, or bad, reviews.

Answer #2

look at the url.. if it says funadvice.. there u go

Answer #3

Thanks. I tried to google the site itself, but all I got was that the site was spamming people’s emails. When I did the whois, I looked up the registrar and there was a complaint under that name. Thanks again!

Answer #4

Look for the VeriSign symbol…any legitimate shopping website should display it: http://funadvice.com/r/bl2g0ve8j

Answer #5

at what point is the symbol displayed?

Answer #6

You should be able to see it displayed on every page (usually, it’s at the bottom, where the privacy policy, etc. is displayed). If it’s not displayed, you can contact the webmaster and ask if their site is VeriSign secure.
