With each passing day the issue of counterfeit products being sold on the Internet becomes more of a front page news story. While counterfeit products being sold online is a big enough issue for concern, the real problem that consumers face is when an item, such as a counterfeit handbag is passed off to someone that has paid for an authentic designer handbag.
Learn What to Look For
Is this a problem that you have to concern yourself with and if so how can you protect yourself from the unscrupulous merchants that operate this way online? The fact is, that it is something that you have to be on the lookout for but the good news is that once you educate yourself about their tactics, you will be much safer.
Think Before You Spend
Rule number one when shopping for an authentic designer handbag online, is that if a deal sounds to good to be true then it most likely is. This doesn't mean that there aren't great deals out there, because there are, but when you come across a "truly exceptional" deal it doesn't hurt to raise your antennas a little before you buy.
Beware of Overseas Websites
Its law a now that all websites on the Internet "must" contain basic identity information. This means that the name and and address of the websites owner must be located in plain view somewhere on the site. If a website is operating out of China and is offering "authentic" designer handbags for sale at ridiculously low prices then you should be skeptical.
At the same time, if there is no identity and location information on the website, then by virtue of the fact that it is operating outside of the law, it should be completely avoided. Other things that you will want to look for are "good, accurate, close up pictures". If the pictures are anything less than perfect, then you can safely assume that it is not an authentic designer handbag that they are showing.
