In the enchanting world of reborn dolls, where collectors find joy and passion, it's crucial to navigate with caution. Unfortunately, the presence of scam sites targeting enthusiasts is a growing concern. In this blog post, we aim to empower you with knowledge to recognize and avoid potential scams. Here are additional aspects to consider when evaluating reborn doll sites, along with the recently mentioned ones:

  • 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚.𝐜𝐨𝐦 - In business for less than six months, with images heavily copied from our respected Marialynndolls, and the quality of the merchandise getting tons of negative reviews on Facebook!
  • 𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞.𝐜𝐨𝐦 - It's a long-running site, but they can't even use Paypal for payments, and also they have a bad reputation for sending dolls with a big gap between them and the photos.
  • 𝐄𝐱𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐨.𝐜𝐨𝐦 - The price is below 50 USD, too nice price. Also all products and picture designs are copied without any user reviews.
  • 𝐖𝐨𝐨𝐨𝐮𝐲𝐚.𝐜𝐨𝐦 - It existed for a short time and did not operate for a long time. There are many complaints from users about the quality and the service is very poor.
  • 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐬.𝐜𝐨𝐦 - There are obvious quality issues with the product, it is one of the lowest-end reborn doll products and has been warned by several copyright sites.
  • 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧.𝐜𝐨𝐦 - The homepage was created for a very short period of time and could not provide full payment access, and the delivery timeframe and product quality were subject to a lot of complaints from users.
  • 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐬.𝐜𝐨𝐦 - New scammer sites within a month.
  • 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐩𝐮𝐚𝐲.𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 - New scammer sites within a month.
  • 𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐞𝐫.𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 - New scammer sites within a month.

Additional Considerations:

  1. Website Design and Layout: Evaluate the website's design and layout. Legitimate sites often invest in professional design. A well-structured site may indicate a higher standard, while a poorly designed one could be a red flag.

  2. Product Display Standardization: Legitimate sites maintain a consistent and standardized approach to displaying products. Be wary of sites with irregularities or inconsistencies in how products are presented.

  3. Comprehensive Payment Channels, Especially PayPal: Check for diverse payment options. Legitimate sites usually offer various payment channels, including secure options like PayPal. The availability of PayPal can be an additional layer of security for buyers.

  4. Social Media Operation Status: Investigate the site's presence on social media platforms. Check the number of followers, update frequency, and creation date. Scam sites often have a short lifespan, and their social media profiles may reveal irregularities.

  5. Professionalism in Reborn Dolls: Assess the professionalism displayed in the presentation of reborn dolls. Legitimate sites showcase attention to detail and quality craftsmanship, while scam sites may lack this professionalism.

Warning Signs Recap:

  • Too Good to Be True Prices: Be wary if the prices seem unrealistically low compared to reputable sites.

  • Limited Contact Information: Ensure that the site provides legitimate contact details, including an address, phone number, and email for customer inquiries.

  • Poor Website Design and Functionality: Professional sites invest in their design. If the site looks unprofessional or lacks secure payment options, exercise caution.

  • Lack of Reviews or Negative Reviews: Research customer experiences before making a purchase. A lack of authentic reviews or a pattern of negative feedback can be warning signs.

Protecting Your Rights:

  • Pay attention to the content of reviews: many users will leave reviews, which will make an additional judgment for you to confirm whether a site is safe or not.

  • Use sites with large followings: sites with large social media followings that have been created for a longer period tend to be more trustworthy.

  • Stay Informed: Keep yourself informed about potential scams by staying connected with the reborn doll community and being aware of warning signs.
