Hi, I am interested in purchasing an mp3 player from www.suntecint.com, but was wondering how I can do some background research to check the feedback history on this internet store? I am kind of reluctant only because of the problems of data mining and personal information selling that most online shops pratice. Thanks Steve |

I've found that resellerratings.com does an excellent good job of rating internet sellers. Checking the site that you listed shows that they've received no ratings in the past six months. This probably means that they're either very new or not that big of a "player" in the marketplace. |

resellerratings.com is good.. better business bureau site is good too... http://search.bbb.org I've done this a lot, and those don't turn up much (which they don't for your example), I look at the company's "about us" page to see if it looks like a generic template, and to see if they have a valid address. i also do a plain google search on the website name, w/out www or com. suntecint gave a bunch of ads, but one guy who said he bought something from them with no problems. and they advertise their website as shopsuntec.com, so searching for shopsuntec yields a similar thing: a bunch of ads and a different example of a problem-free order... so, based on all this, i'd be comfortable with ordering from them. Sometimes the company will have many different websites, with identical underlying content - that may or may not be a bad sign. with my example it was, because some of the websites had TERRIBLE reviews, and he was hopping from site name to site name to gain a clean record, only to dirty it again. this can be tricky to spot, electrodiscounts.com and mpsuperstore.com are an example, although not the one i mentioned before, can't remember the site name(s) for that one - he had a lot of them tho. |
