Seller red flags we do not ignore
A good product can become a bad purchase when seller information is weak. We use seller quality as a separate scoring factor so a low price cannot hide risk.
Red flags
Vague condition: “good” with no explanation or photos of actual wear.
Contradictory specifications: title says one RAM/storage configuration while the description says another.
Weak or unusual feedback: especially when recent negative comments describe the same fault.
Unclear returns: no practical explanation of where the unit must be returned or who pays shipping.
Hidden keyboard/layout differences: especially on cross-border laptop listings.
Too-good-to-be-true pricing: a large price gap deserves more verification, not excitement.
ISS@OUI principle: the cheapest offer should have to prove itself.
