Ifyouprefer to buy from UK sellers - bewareas there'sscamming going on from overseas sellers and you could easily be caught out!!
These sellersenterthe location of the goods with a UK address but unfortunately the chances are - your goods will come from Hong Kong or China!
Even if you try to avoid overseas sellers by selecting the UK Only search function, they will still appear...so you're not safe!
BE AWARE OFTHE DOWNSIDE OF BUYING FROM OVERSEAS SELLERS...........
Buying from outside the United Kingdom or the EUmay mean you are liable to be charged extra money for importingyour goods - this will be done by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs {HMRC}and Royal Mail or ParcelForce can also sting you for an extra 8 on top of that - just for processing it on behlaf of HMRC!
If your goods are faulty then you'll be expected to return them to the seller at your cost - and just imagine how expensive it will be to send goods to China or Hong Kong by a trackable service!
Here's a quick guide - you can read the other stuff if you like but this is what to look out for in a nutshell..if you only want to buy from true UK sellers!
Before you do anything, check out the bad feedback that's been left for them.....and how many of those negs have been mutually withdrawn!
There are websites that will let you see all the negs and neutral feedbacks in a row - it paints a good picture ... if you type thewords toolhaus.org into your web browser window or search box, then you can check out their bad feedback.!
If they don't combine shipping costs then your goods aren'tcoming from the UK
If you're paying a really low price for the goods themselves - like 99pand a ridiculously high price for postage, like 4 - 6, then they're a Hong Kong/Chinese seller
Ifthe photos of the goods you're searching forall look the same on the search page,even though they're from about 3 different sellers then they'll be Chinese/Hong Kongsellers- and probably the same one, too.
5.All these different Hong Kong registered sellers tend toenter the same location - like Manchester or London,so your goods are probably not coming from the UK!
If you want to avoid being duped - then look for these tell-tale signs....
ITEM LOCATION....it may say...Shanghai,UK.......Hong Kong,UK...or even London orManchester!
This may be enough to reassure you but you need to check out where they're registered- this will be on the right hand side of the auction page...they generally say Hong Kong, China, even though the goods are supposedly located in the UK...BIG GIVEAWAY!
Here's some examples
SHIPPING COSTS....it may say a huge amount..like 6.99 and yet they only charge a really low amount for the goods...like 59p!!!! This is especially true of falseeyelash...nailgel sellers.....make-up brushesand nail art sellers...BIG GIVEAWAY!
SHIPPING METHOD...they generally say Royal Mail Standard Parcels Service....BIG GIVEAWAY!
