Facebook Online Shopping

Facebook, the biggest social network is now also a website tool for online shopping. While interacting with your friends and playing games, we can also enjoy the convenience of shopping online at home through Facebook. Spare us from everyday traffic and crowded malls. There are trusted sellers in the network, however we can not deny the fact that there are also bogus sellers taking advantage of the online business.

I have shopped online through Facebook for several times. Fortunately, all of the sellers I chose are someone that you can really trust.

What do we need to know before placing an order?

Do some background check of the Seller. Read her profile information, contacts and Terms and Conditions. Sellers have different rules, so it is important to understand their Terms and Conditions.

Look for Feedbacks and Proof of Shipment from their Photo Albums. Most of the trusted sellers provide this to show their credibility as a Seller to the customers. There are introductory Sellers as well, if they are new in the business then there is a possibility that they don't have Feedbacks yet. It would be better to get some referrals from someone. You can get some help and tips through Officially Banned! Bogus Sellers page. They provide the lists of Trusted Sellers and Bogus Sellers in Facebook.

In the end, we hold on to the Seller's words. If you are still not sure of purchasing items through Facebook, there are always other options.

Other good points in Facebook shopping is you receive everyday updates of the Sellers' new items, deals, promos and discounts. If you are one of their "Suki", they are generous enough to give out freebies. You can find exclusive offers for upcoming holidays too, that way you can plan out what gifts to give your loved ones.


Enjoy shopping!
