Telling prospective clients to DM for prices.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You are probably an online shop with thousands of followers, but keep posting items without price tags and want people to inbox you to know the price. What are you afraid of displaying your prices? Usually, online sellers that don\u2019t display price tags on their products are scammers or sell items at exploitative prices that are way above the market standard. Stop that habit, please. Some of us don\u2019t have time to waste inboxing you for price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Also read;\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/condala.com\/blog\/how-to-spot-an-online-shopping-scam-in-uganda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to spot an online shopping scam in Uganda<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Stealing_peoples_photos_to_market_yourself\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Stealing people\u2019s photos to market yourself.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many online businesses in Uganda thrive on \u2018theft\u2019. Someone does not know how to bake, but they steal photos of good-looking stuff made by professional bakers and market them as theirs. You get excited and order a cake from them but cry when you see what has been delivered. Please use images of your actual products. Stop stealing and using other people\u2019s photos.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_No_active_contact\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. No active contact.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A seller advertises a product and attaches a contact number. But when you try to call the attached number, the number is either off, or they simply don\u2019t pick up the call. And if they pick, they will speak with so much arrogance and emotions as if a customer is their co-wife.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Switching_off_the_phone\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4. Switching off the phone.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I made an order for pork from an online pork seller. He promised he would deliver my order in an hour. Two hours later, no order is delivered. He claims my order is on the way and will be delivered in the next 30mins. After another hour, I call again, and their number is off. Later I realized the seller had denylisted my number. That\u2019s how I lost time and money. Please don\u2019t sell what you can\u2019t deliver!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Delivering_substandard_goods\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5.
