She expected to buy a pair of shoes for $1, at first? Branded or not, no diff.... surely not possible.
They list at $1, to catch attention .

Saw a scarf that was selling for $5 at Lazada. OG was selling the same brand for $20++.
Ordered 1 and they sent me 2, but no brand type. Material also not the same.

Dont be cheapo.

platforms like aliexpress, shopee, lazada... are much better because the platforms responsible for the transactions.  they keep the money until you click received satisfactorily.  most of the time you can get the money back if the seller is scammer.

platforms like fb market place, carousell are risky because platforms do not care about the transaction.  the most they can do is to remove the account.  scammers like these platform.  they just change name if the account by platform.
