Do you think it is better to buy products in a market place which products are owned by different people, or its better to buy to a company, because isn't it its more risky and may take long time just to verify you can have an honest and true transactions with them,sooner you'll realize that once you paid you won't get nothing whom sometimes buyers online encounters such problems specially those who paid big amount for their purchases, can you please share your opinions or what you know about these.

yeah right buddy, sometimes still risk is at stake whenever you go purchasing products online, it is better to be very sure with everything, if you buy and pay such a big amount and soon you'll realize that there is a big regret in the end, in market place, yeah its good to find products sometimes seller offers cheaper price that the usual we saw on retailers, but still assurance is the end of everything, big company that enables online purchasing with their products or either services are excellent to do transactions with them

Regarding to the online purchasing,I think the most important thing is the "feedback",before you make up your mind to purchase you should check the seller's feedback first,if its feedback is quite good then I think in most situation it will be safe.

Hi matthewnuevo,
Yes, sometimes it's risky to do online transactions especially when the company or organisaton is small, new, unknown and does not have a reputation. So it's better if you buy your stuff from larger, reputable and reliable companies with well known brands. But if you still want to buy from the smaller ones and they turn out to be scams you can always report to your credit card company and ask for a refund which will be troublesome of course. Have a good day.

I prefer to buy from the little guy. Problem is alot of times an item costs much more from them. and we sometimes need to save all the money we can.

Buying from a company will reduce the chances of dealing with non-legit but this statement of mine should not discredit personally owned products sold in the market place. There are lot's of honest individuals in the market place with proper entrepreneur etiquette. You just have to consider additional measures to make sure that all ends up well. And you're right, additional verification in buying personally owned products in the market place would take longer so it's all together a matter of the legitimacy, urgency of needs, quality and price. Good and wise shoppers would certainly know what to do to end up with the best buy.

Hi mathew.
Well I am a little confused with your question. If it is the quality of the product you are referring to then I would suggest you to go for companies with reputation. However if you are concerned if your product will be delivered to you or not after you have paid for it. Then in that case I would suggest you to for cash on delivery. Or else it is not worth it. Anyways have a nice day ...

I'd like to buy from companies personally like Amazon but sometimes their price is too high and I would like to get it cheaper, so I drop down to smaller sellers (individuals) which I personally use eBay to do all the job.
It will have seller ratings which is really useful as you can be confirmed by other users that that seller won't let you down.
It's like you got protected by a community.
If you are buying off some random websites then do some research as that shop might be scam.
Search for their names follow by "reviews". Results would show how good the site are or how bad people have experienced with that site.
Look Carefully before you buy every time you shop!
