For pages, Facebook or WhatsApp groups:

Verify that the vendor actually has the product they are selling if you are dealing with a page or an online selling group. You can do this by asking for pictures or videos of the product. 

Make sure the prices are realistic. Scammers may price cheaper to attract you. 

Check the page or vendor to know how long they have been selling online, what people are saying about them in the comments and how they respond. This will give you an idea of whether they can be trusted or not. 

Your first purchase should be a test. Test buy one or a few items to see how their services work. 

If they accept payment after delivery then you can go with it to make sure they are legit. 

Check the story and existence of the brand or shop. How long it has been existing and if the reviews are legit. 

My OOTD is a little black dress styled with a white jacket I bought from an online vendor in Yaounde. I discovered her shop on Instagram and she sells good and trendy okirika outfits.

My bag is also from an online vendor who sells bags. 

Would you buy from a Cameroonian online vendor?
