Amazon bogus Sellers Beware

This is very important and can you please share this:

Can folk please watch out when buying items from sellers on Amazon and double check reviews before buying anything, and never buy from sellers that have little reviews or non, and also never buy from sellers that have only one thing on their storefront. They are bogus sellers. Yes I was caught out this week buying a rabbit/puppy playpen and thought oh a new person just starting up on Amazon and price for cage was cheap, I fell hook line and sinker. Thank goodness I will get my money back from Amazon but in meantime I have had to re- order another playpen and fork out more money till I get refunded.
The store/seller was: magslotstores

Please folk I know it is coming up for Christmas and folk will be busy buying stuff online, but be extra vigilant.x

Share this to everyone and pass this around.

In the meantime I have to wait till Monday before putting in a claim to get my money back, and god knows how long that will take. Should Amazon not have been more vigilant as to the sellers they have on Amazon and I think some sort of compensation Amazon should be paying as well. I had to stay in cancel appointments thanks to that seller. Blinking so angry I am.

    Do you think we buy from 3rd party sellers without reading the reviews?
    Any site like Amazon, eBay etc you should see what others have to say about the seller before buying from them.

    Every seller has to start somewhere and if you are the first then you either take a chance or wait until they have a few reviews.
    If something is too cheap then warning bells should ring, you only get what you pay for and the cheaper the price more often than not you get a cheap item.
