What it is , is that I want to order some parts for my Hyosung from a web-site.
So what, you say.

How can I tell if a site is pucker or not?
The site is in South Korea.
https://koreanbikeparts.com/index.php/catalogsearch/result/?q=idle+sensor

I am not pc competent so I don`t know a good site from a wallet rapping site?
What do I look for?

thank you, if you can help me Thumbs Up

I would take a few things in to account.

Firstly, they don't have a contact address on the contact page. They also don't have a phone number anywhere. This rings alarm bells for me, as there's no easy way to get in touch with them if there was an issue.

When I WHOIS the domain name, it's not registered to a company anywhere, no address or admin contact details. In fact, they're using WHOIS guard which intentionally hides a company's details.

The website itself is quite a slick looking Magento template which can be bought for $99.

The privacy policy and returns policy pages are not found / 404 which is another concern. There's even still Lorum Ipsum dummy text in the header under the "Secure Payment" icon, which I highly doubt is secure at all when you go through checkout.

Would I buy from this website if it were me? (being a web designer as well), would I fuck.

It probably is legit but it is most likely just one guy reselling parts and has only just started doing it.

Payment through Paypal so you do have some security there.
