I’ve seen 4 site on FB (I know I know) all offering the same exact item (a mag safe adjustable phone stand that can clip to things or has a tripod and adjusts). They are literally all the same thing for the same price. I would assume they’re from the same manufacturer. So how can I find out which is the real source, or does it matter and just pick one.

    Probably all the same company tracking which variations in how they advertise it get the most clicks.

    It’s always the same steps.

    1. Reverse image search the stock photo

    2. You’ll get a lot of results obviously find your way to the wholesaler if you want bulk purchase

    3. If you just want one for yourself it will come up on aliexpress/dh gate/temu where you can also find similar items

    @ramble81@lemm.ee I don’t understand how this is profitable. We were shopping for a kitchen light fixture. Found the same light at several stores. Ordered it from one that claimed to be in Italy. Item shipped from China. I understand A/B testing and having multiple storefront you treat live burner phones when you get a reputation/review issue, but these sites were all using the same retargetting to place ads in my socials for weeks after the light was installed. Normally I add users to a list NOT to retarget after conversion. The other stores carrying the same product kept advertising something I had already purchased.

    I’d say it doesn’t matter. If it is the same product, chances are they are all reselling from the same manufacturer.
