FAQ

Frequently asked questions — General E-commerce

Is Amazon still the highest-rated e-commerce site in France?+

Amazon has strong brand awareness, but its Trustpilot score is often lower than many specialist stores. Criticisms include marketplace return handling and variable quality of third-party sellers. French retailers like Cdiscount or La Redoute can score better on delivery or customer service.

How to distinguish a reliable seller from a fraudulent one on a marketplace?+

Check the number of reviews (100+ is reassuring), rating (above 4/5), seller account age, and review consistency. Be wary of recent accounts with a perfect score — possible sign of fake reviews. Prefer sellers with 'Fulfilled by [Platform]' status to benefit from buyer protection.

What are the benefits of buying from a specialist store rather than Amazon?+

Specialist stores often offer better product expertise, more personalized customer service, and advisors who know their field. They may also have better return policies and a trust relationship with the brands they distribute. For complex purchases (tech, sport, garden), advisory expertise can be worth a few extra euros.

How to protect yourself from scams when shopping online?+

Check the site uses HTTPS, look for legal notices and business registration, pay by credit card (bank protection) or PayPal (buyer protection). Be wary of sites with no reviews or prices that are too low. A quick search with the site name + 'scam' or 'reviews' will give you valuable information before buying.
