Difficult place to shop. Too many sellers either out of laziness or deceit don't describe thoroughly their wares. It is obvious from comments around the web and a little browsing on the site itself that a lot of fakes are being listed. This means that you have to ask questions. In my short experience looking for a cashmere scarf, I have received mostly lame or evasive answers. Further I was quickly blocked from asking further questions presumably by some algorithm. Problem returns and customer service appear to be the main sources of complaint. This totally contrasts with Ebay for example. So I would have to say a big caveat emptor applies to the whole enterprise.

This Adopt a Pet site has to be a scam. For months I've been responding within hours of receiving their emails with one of three results. 1. The pet is no longer available. 2. I fill out an application but never hear back. 3. The pet is from a shelter some distance away that limits adoptions to local residents or which has absurd requirements such requiring returning the pet for spaying, visits to a trainer, or other officious nonsense. Short of avoiding adoption by animal abusers such as those involved in dog fighting or research, it is hard for me to understand the bureaucratic hoops one is put through to adopt a pet these days.
Understand that this group has a PREMIUM plan of which they repeatedly remind you. So for $10/month you can jump the queue and get the email alerts ahead of everyone else. I suspect the $10 subscription is the real goal of these scammers.
