Hello @fraunatter

so first of all, of course, you look for the desired item. And then you check where the seller is based or where they are registered. If the seller is commercial, I also check whether their legally required business details are listed as completely as possible and how long I could return it. Then you take a close look at their received reviews and it’s best to read between the lines too.

Then comes the item description and the pictures. Are the pictures meaningful? Is the item description not generated by AI but also meaningful and written by the seller themselves?

If additional questions are needed, that’s a minus for me too.

All the things I also pay attention to would blow the frame, but with a private seller I also check how many reviews they’ve had changed and whether there are any purchase cancellations on their part. For all sellers, I sometimes also read the reviews they’ve left to see whether anything stands out.

Hello @fraunatter ,

I'll take a look at the seller's ratings and which country they're based in.

Often, especially Asian sellers have a German item location.

And if you look closely, you can see that the seller comes from China.
