Checking a online shop in Edinburgh

  1. Check that the company named on the website is active at Companies House and that the company number matches.
  2. Check how old the website's domain is. A shop with a domain registered a few weeks ago is a warning sign.
  3. Prices far below the market and payment only by bank transfer are red flags.
  4. Pay by card or a payment method with buyer protection, never to a private account.
