When you find a gadget online, what's your first step before purchasing?

I check the price and buy immediately if it looks good I quickly scan the seller's rating but don't dig deeper I read recent reviews and check for patterns of complaints I verify the seller's reputation across multiple platforms and confirm they're authorised by the manufacturer

How often do you check the return policy before completing an online gadget purchase?

Never—I usually don't even look at it Sometimes, but only if the price is very high Usually, I try to find the return policy but it's often unclear Always—I confirm duration, any restocking fees, and whether it covers my situation

Before paying for a gadget, do you calculate the total cost including hidden expenses?

No, I only look at the advertised price Sometimes I notice shipping at checkout but rarely check for import taxes or GST I usually add up price + shipping, but sometimes forget about import duties I always calculate: product price + shipping + import taxes + GST + any payment fees before committing

How do you verify that a gadget is genuine before buying?

I assume it's genuine if the price seems reasonable I look for obvious red flags like suspiciously low prices I check packaging details and look for serial numbers in the listing I verify the seller is authorised on the manufacturer's website, check for serial numbers, and review authentication details
