[QUOTE="Yusra3, post: 330122, member: 31907"] Social networks like Instagram and Facebook offer super convenient online shopping through posts from brands or influencers you already know and trust. However, you must approach purchases smartly to avoid scams or getting locked into sketchy subscriptions. Here’s how to shop social media safely: [B]Vet Sellers Thoroughly [/B] Don’t assume someone legit just because they have a lot of followers. Check how long they’ve been around, what others comment about purchases, and if contact info goes beyond just social media bios. Search the company names online looking for reviews too. [B]Assess Payment Methods[/B] Scammers often only take CashApp, Venmo or gift cards which offer no buyer protections. Safe sellers should allow Paypal Goods and Services payments able to dispute issues. Using credit cards also provides an extra fraud safety layer. [B]Scope Return Policies [/B] Quality brands stand behind products, while shady ones often enforce no refunds or exchanges. Make sure you can at least return for store credit. And don’t feel pressured into buying by limited quantity hype which overrides your chance to evaluate policies. [B]Think Before Oversharing Personal Details[/B] Buy directly through secure checkout platforms brands link to, not by messaging private information which could enable theft. Also be wary of required phone numbers or mailing address forms that seem unnecessary. [B]Use Promo Codes Strategically[/B] Influencer affiliate codes help content creators earn commission. Just ensure the code actually saves you money too by comparing final price to normal costs. Also be vigilant of auto-renewal terms. The convenience of social commerce requires balancing safety vigilance too. But you can absolutely score awesome deals through Instagram or Facebook with smart shopping habits using these tips!
