A site I found via social ads had deep discounts and only accepted certain payment methods. I backed out at checkout. What signals do people watch for with new shops?
Brand-new shop site with huge discounts — red flags?

New domain, stock photos, and pressure to pay outside major processors are common patterns. Official brand sites matter.
I check return policies and contact pages. Empty legal pages made me leave more than once.
If you already paid, use the payment provider’s official dispute path and keep records offline.
