Default have a just be conned?
http://www.cell-outlets.com/

Just bought a pair of Sennheiser PX100s from that website, and the whole time i was going through the process i felt something was too good to be true (The were £15.17) only after i paid i really thought about it. The only payment option was paypal, I thought for a second, i might have just given my details to a fake paypal, when i checked paypal, all was well it was real paypal.
I still have a dodgy feeling though that the website isn't for real? What do you think...

I normally look for "https" in the URL and also for the little padlock at the bottom right of the browser to show that the page is secure.

Check that?

At least it was the real Paypal and not a fake, they got less than £20 if it is fake... i'm staying optimistic though! *gulp*

If the payment is done via Paypal and not on their own server using a credit card, then it probably wouldn't need to be on a secure server, with the padlock in the corner.

If you've paid via Paypal, you've probably got more chance of claiming the money back if the goods are a no show, than if you used a credit card. Unless you were a bit silly and sent it as a gift...

It should only get to that once it gets through the page where you are entering your details (e.g. it won't meet that criteria when just browsing available products).

This may be a bit of hope for ya John (wasn't aware of this as I don't use Paypal so didn't know that it was different). Best of luck!

I thought that might be the case with Paypal! but wasn't too sure, i always use paypal out of laziness anyway, so i'll find out in about a week! if they arrive i'll let everyone know, everything is dead cheap on that site (which is what's scaring me the most)
Thanks guys!

I guess you will find out in a few weeks time if the Sennheisers arrive or not.

The website doesn't look that dodgy to me - it just looks like a frontend to an EBay store, and many of those are PayPal only too.
