Online Seller ‘Verify Before You Buy’ Checklist

Buying items for your business online? 

How can you be sure you’re not getting scammed? 

Unfortunately, sometimes you don’t know you’ve been fooled until you get a notice from your credit card company or until your product arrives not as advertised, or doesn’t arrive at all.

Keep yourself safe shopping online with these tips:

1. According to the American Bar Association’s Business Law Section, search for the online seller on the Better Business Bureau (www.bbbonline.org) which rates certain companies and includes a tally of the types of complaints it has received against the company.
2. Look for ratings from individual sellers. If you’re buying on eBay or Etsy, for example, this is likely a person-to-person transaction rather than a business entity. Read through feedback other customers have left and use your best judgment. 
3. Look for authorized sellers by the manufacturer. You may get a better warranty service if you buy from an authorized seller. Contact the manufacturer of the product you’re interested in before buying from another company or website.
4. Let Michigan Computer Supplies do the work for you! MCS’s Everyday Essentials program is a great option if you’re not sure where to start shopping, or aren’t sure who you can trust. We have verified distributors and vendors that we trust, and we can do the buying for you. Even more, if we have to use eBay, we’ll assume the risk and perform tests on any machines or products we buy so you don’t have to. 

How Can MCS Help Your Company?

We can help you find products and machines that are in short supply right now. Even if we have to resort to eBay, we’ll do our best to find what you need and we’ll assume the risk if something shows up and needs repairs, or isn’t the real deal.
