I checked into the site. There's not a lot of site info to go on considering the site & IP has been around since at least 2007.
(these are all the same place}
http://www.privatina.euhttp://81.169.162.205/shop2/index.php?user=privatina&clang=ukhttp://www.shop-020.de/shop2/index.php?user=florentyna&clang=ukIt's from Berlin, with a very low traffic rank. A few individual posts here, & many individual stories at the story board actually get more traffic than they do. They even get more hits from Berlin & Germany than that site does. Odd for a site that's been around a long time, & that there's many times more ABDLs around than sissies in the world.
Several WHOIS & IP checks for the sites reveal there is no or correct owner or registrant info for the sites... a clear violation of EU & German law. This may be to avoid paying taxes, tariffs, & other fees, or just to protect you from paying them. But if they screw you, with no correct ownership & registrant info, you'll be left totally in the dark, with nothing to do about it. So there is no protection or law to protect you if something goes wrong or very wrong.
Even here at Betty's we have the legal & correct ownership registered for our sites on record... and we don't sell stuff.
Out of all the many times more ABDLs than sissies online in the world, I can find many linking to the site, asking questions about the site, but only could find 5 real ABDLs that actually bought anything from them. That also is unusual for a site around at least since 2007. Yep, I did check the German ABDL sites too. None of those 5 were from Germany. 4 were from the UK, & 1 was from the USA... odd, no reviews from their own country.
They report the site was legitimate, & they loved what they bought. However they did report that although they expected a long wait when ordering from another country, they had to wait much longer than usual for their shipment. They also report that shipping costs were much higher than normal... something to factor in on something already priced higher than usual.
They also comment the items seemed to be shaped more for women than men, so if you have too manly a shape (like big-chested), the items may not fit you or fit you well. All 5 report they were hand-made quality products.
On a personal check-up of the site, I found nothing suspicious or malicious, but I didn't go through the final check-out to actually buy anything either, so you're on your own there. I've found no complaints, suits, or scams claimed against them.
I've also seen their U-tube advertisements. They also appear to be legitimate.
Summary - They accept Pay Pal for payment, that makes me feel a little better about the site. That way they're not getting your financial data, & if they ever screwed people before, or are sloppy & unsecure with their sites/bookeeping, there might have been a Pay Pal public record of it.
Lets not forget honest people can be just as risky as mobsters if they're sloppy with their sites, security, & bookkeeping. One has think when ordering from any unknown, unusual, or small operation... will their teenage son, brother in law, ex-wife, next door neighbor, or babysitter also have access to their computer & your financial info? Is their site, computer, or server relatively secure & difficult to hack? Is it regularly attacked because it was easy to hack in the past?
Lack of correct & legal ownership or domain registration info on record for the site & domain (required EU & German law) throws up another red flag.
So this site is almost borderline. For me personally I'd rate it 65% for (just barely a passing grade), & 35% against. Seems good enough, but too many red flags for me to feel comfortable with it.
Combine that with high shipping rates at an already high price, & longer than usual waits expected for international shipping, 55% for (failing grade), 45% against. Just not worth the risk & bother to me, but they say I worry too much & am too cheap.
