For marketplaces like Amazon, Snapdeal and Flipkart majority of the products are sold by third party sellers. Pay attention to the sellers you are buying from and make sure that they are active on the platform for sometime. We recommend you to go with highly rated sellers and avoid new sellers at least during the festive periods.
