When buying a sex doll, there are two forms of scam that you can be a victim of. The first and probably the most common one is the purchase of a counterfeit doll. This happens when the doll that gets delivered does not resemble the one you ordered and is usually as a result of the seller advertising a product that doesn’t match the excellence that they actually offer. The doll simply doesn’t meet the client’s expectation with the seller exaggerating the features of the doll to trick the prospective clients. The difference might be in terms of the quality of the material used as well as absence of pledged specifications and modifications in the doll.
The second trick is the one that involves you paying for the product and not getting the product delivered at all. Surprised? Well, this is the most common scam, where a person sets up a website and advertises numerous sex dolls supported by attractive images while they don’t actually possess the dolls. The unsuspecting customer then orders for the doll, pays for it, only for that to be the last time they hear from the con. Trust me, this vice is a reality that you might encounter when you’re purchasing your sex doll, especially the first one. Before you become a victim and have your quest for untamed sexual pressure ruined, we’ll go through some of the tips to avoid getting scammed when buying a sex doll.
Research on the product
Buying a sex doll for the first time can be frustrating, I mean, you are new to these and probably don’t even know a thing about these pleasure gods. Well, ask around to understand what constitutes a high-quality sex doll. Do you want a silicone one or a thermoplastic rubber doll? Well, research to know the pros and cons of each relating the quality of the material used to the price of the doll, and make a decision. Learn about the various sizes and variations as well as the benefits that each comes with. This will help you find just the ideal doll for you.

Research on the seller
Just as in other products, reviews matter a lot. They help you evaluate the integrity of the seller, and facilitate your decision of whether or not buy from the merchant. Research to see whether the seller has transacted business with other people and how they felt about the transaction. Don’t expect everyone to be happy though, but if more people are on the unhappy side, that should be a red light. You don’t want to join the “unhappy team,” do you? Also, check on the clarity and correctness of the information and description of the doll as communicated by the seller.
With the sex doll business being an online venture, always look to see whether the seller’s website provides you with the relevant information. Is the information clear?

The description should include the height, weight, product variations as well as the instructions on how to take care of your sex doll in between use. A genuine doll should have a clear and precise description.
You can always inquire with the seller where you have additional questions that are not covered in the description.

Actually, the quickness and tone of the seller’s response should guide you on whether or not buy from them.

The price and mode of payment
