How to Protect Yourself from Fake Buyers on Amazon, Flipkart & Meesho

Fake buyers and return fraud are growing concerns for online sellers in India. Many sellers have faced issues like receiving old or broken products in return, or getting scammed by customers misusing return/refund policies.

Whether you're selling on Amazon, Flipkart, or Meesho, protecting yourself from fake buyers is critical for maintaining profit and account health.

🚨 Common Fake Buyer Tactics

🛡️ How to Protect Yourself as a Seller

1. Use Branded Packaging & Tamper-Proof Seals

Seal your packages with logo tape or QR-coded stickers to prove tampering during returns.

2. Record Packing Videos

Keep a short video of you packing the product before shipment. This helps during Safe-T claims or disputes.

3. Monitor Return Patterns

If a buyer repeatedly returns products, you can report them to Amazon or Flipkart using the “Report Buyer” option.

4. File Safe-T Claims (Amazon)

Amazon allows you to raise Safe-T claims if a returned product is wrong or damaged. Submit within 7 days.

5. Report Buyer Abuse to Platform

Use your seller panel to report fraudulent activity. Flipkart and Amazon both offer forms for buyer behavior violations.
