Online marketplaces are convenient, but the buyer still has to do some homework. Here is a checklist.

Check the seller

Look at ratings, number of orders fulfilled, and response time. Verified sellers are usually safer.

Read real reviews

Ignore only 5-star or only 1-star. Mid-range reviews are usually the most honest.

Compare prices

The first listing is rarely the cheapest. Scroll through 3–5 options before ordering.

Understand return policy

No-return items are often final sale. Know what you are signing up for.

Pay safely

Use COD or trusted gateways. Avoid direct bKash/Nagad transfers to strangers.
