Overall Summary
Suspicious
Why we think so

This eBay listing offers a 'Clarins Most Loved Starter Kit – 5 Piece Set for Women' for $32.99, a bit below Ulta's verified retail price of $40. The seller, snowyswardrobe, has a feedback score of 100 and is based in Anchorage, Alaska. While the product photos appear legitimate and consistent across several images, the listing does not show seller ratings, detailed reviews, or provide a description beyond basic product info. No clear red flags for counterfeit or scam behavior surfaced, and the seller accepts secure payment types (PayPal, credit cards). However, a key caution: the seller does not accept returns, which reduces buyer protection if you are unsatisfied. There are no known scam reports or widespread complaints about this seller online, but also not enough history or positive detailed feedback to guarantee complete confidence. It’s wise to compare product packaging with Clarins’ official images and only proceed if comfortable with the no-returns policy. 🛡️

Red Flags & Warnings

  • The seller does not accept returns. This limits your ability to resolve issues directly with the seller if something goes wrong.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

Seller identity consistent across eBay and listing

Score: 90/100
Passed

"No evidence of impersonation or mismatched business identity."

Reason: Seller username 'snowyswardrobe' appears in both the listing and seller info, matching across all sources.

Seller reputation and external scam/complaint history

Score: 55/100
Failed

"The perfect feedback score is positive but could represent a low volume or short selling history; lack of visible reviews/ratings and no robust transaction trail."

Reason: No scam complaints found, but also insufficient history of reviews, volume of sales, or detailed, recent feedback to strongly validate the seller’s trustworthiness.

Listing content consistency and transparency

Score: 70/100
Passed

"Lack of extended description or buyer-facing detailed product claims, but no clear discrepancies or mismatches with visual/photos."

Reason: Product title, images, and basic details align with the Clarins set being described; price is within a reasonable (but discounted) range; location and shipping details match.

Product authenticity indicators

Score: 75/100
Passed

"Buyer should still inspect packaging, batch codes, and compare to official Clarins details after purchase."

Reason: No overt signs that the photos are fake or stock-only, and no independent reports of counterfeit goods linked to this seller or the product. Price is discounted, but not drastically below market.

Buyer protection, payment, and returns

Score: 30/100
Failed

"Absence of returns can be used by both newer and legitimate sellers, but it is riskier for buyers in the event of dissatisfaction."

Reason: Seller explicitly states they do not accept returns, which suppresses buyer options for resolving disputes unless the item is not as described. Payments accepted are secure, but no return window means buyer must rely on eBay’s Money Back Guarantee if problems arise.
