Doesn't seem like a very trustworthy site tbh.

There's no padlock symbol to show that it's a secure site. I would never buy things from a site without this padlock.

and i'd also never spend £300 on a bag even if the website had twenty padlocks

Whistling, what padlock symbol are you referring to?

You should always make sure websites are secure before buying anything online through them.

So the URL should be https - whereas in the above link it's only http

and/or

it should have a little padlock sign in the URL bar.

The above link has neither.

Doesn't you only get the s or padlock when you go to pay for something?

It should be on the password page, too. That's as far as i went and it wasn't there. You can see what i mean on the Mumsnet log in page. The little padlock symbol is present there and it says https at the start of the URL.

Sorry to be a bore about this stuff - but i'm just wanting people to be careful before inputting their details into a fairly unknown website.

The padlock is a sign that the website has an SSL certificate, which allows the information you exchange with the website to be encrypted. It's really only necessary for when you're paying or logged into somewhere (like your bank), not for browsing.

The website does not take payments, rather hands off to Paypal. Paypal will ensure the transaction occurs in a secure environment, aka SSL.

In terms of marketing, the fact that they don't tell the user about how secure the information is with the seller and explain the security aspects of using Paypal is a massive weakness.

It does however look that the Purseforum users consider this site okay. I have no personal experience with the site though.

I saw it mentioned on the purse forum too amd thats why I wemt off to habe a look and saw the Marcia

wow, that's very cheap for a large marcie! what gives?

The site comes up as being safe on Nortons Website

they are 100 quid less than the brand new ones,so not that much of a difference.
