Your Guide to Folksy Paperwork for High-End Skincare Purchases
When purchasing high-end skincare on Folksy, proper handling of paperwork is crucial for a secure and transparent transaction. This guide will walk you through the essential documents and communications you can expect as a buyer.
Understanding Order Confirmations and Receipts
Upon successful purchase, you will receive an order confirmation from Folksy. This document serves as your primary record and details the item, price, shipping information, and seller. Always review this carefully. A detailed receipt, often provided by the seller directly or through Folksy's system, is also vital for your records, especially for high-value skincare items.
Seller Communication and Documentation
Maintain open communication with the seller regarding your order. Any special requests, customisation details, or shipping preferences should be documented through Folksy's messaging system. This creates a verifiable trail should any disputes arise.
Relevant Scams to Watch For
Beware of 'Off-Platform PayPal Invoicing'. Sellers might request payment via direct PayPal invoicing outside of Folksy's secure system. This bypasses Folksy's buyer protection, and you lose recourse if the product is not as described or if there are issues with authenticity, which is critical for high-end skincare.
Guard against 'Stolen Artisan Photography'. High-end skincare often relies on aesthetically pleasing product shots. Scammers may use stolen images to misrepresent mass-produced or counterfeit items as genuine artisan products. Always verify the seller's other listings and reviews for consistency.
While not directly paperwork-related, be aware that 'Fake Handmade Certification' scams can occur. Sellers might falsely claim their high-end skincare is handmade or has specific certifications to justify a higher price. Cross-reference any claims with independent sources or look for verifiable seller credentials on Folksy.

For transactions involving high-end skincare, particularly those exceeding $500, we strongly recommend utilizing the Safe Trade Services Premium Plan for identity verification.
