Facebook marketplace plastic sheds

I went to Facebook Marketplace, searched for 'plastic shed', found a lot of sellers selling similar plastic sheds at very cheap discounts. 


The two websites all the sellers seemed to point to is: https://www.bbgoshowl.shop/ and https://fure.vipshopbuy.com/products. Both claim that, due covid, lots of Amazon warehouses have shut and that excess stock needs to be sold as soon as possible. That is the justification for the cheap shed, cheap greenhouse and other cheap item prices. The prices typically are 10% or less. I bought through https://fure.vipshopbuy.com/products and the payment was in Canadian Dollars to: Mireya [removed]. The items are due by 6th June 2022. I have checked the website https://fure.vipshopbuy.com/products and it was created about 2 weeks ago. I have called by bank and Paypal - the only thing that can be done is, should the items not arrive, raise a dispute. Paypal claimed that I have a high chance of winning the dispute. 

 

Has anyone come across these two websites before or Mireya [removed]?

Bet its one of these if its a social media website?


Chinese Web Sites or on Social Media ads easy to spot (once you know the below signs) so buyer beware.

The best thing is to not buy from them in the first place, to recognise them -

1. No return address on the returns policy. The site will look as if its in your country (where they despatch goods from) but they will ask for returns to go back to China (returns depot) at a shipping cost often more than the item is worth.
2. No contact telephone number. if you click on contact the most you will get is webmail or an email address.
3. Rarely company address information.
4. Great pictures of items at bargain prices that turn out to be tat.
5. Fake reviews.
6. Google and you can often see previous company names as they change them once enough claims roll in and Paypal stop them using their services and start over.
7. Send fake tracking numbers to win item non receipt of item claims.
