Check when Edinburgh.gov.uk domain was created:
Unable to get domain name creation date.
A shopping website created less than 4 months ago is too new and potentially suspicious.
If a domain name is too "young" we may have not enough details to judge it.
I would not buy goods from an online shop created a few months ago.
Check if Edinburgh.gov.uk uses HTTPS:
The website uses a valid HTTPS (SSL) connection.
An online business that handle payments and sensitive user information must use HTTPS.
The HTTPS connection assures that all the traffic between you and the website is encrypted.
Personal websites (such as blogs, portfolios, etc) do not need HTTPS connection.
I would not buy goods from an online shop that has no HTTPS connection.

The website is ranked #238,975 among millions of other websites according to Alexa traffic rank.
Alexa is the most popular service used to rank websites based on their traffic and pageviews.
If the rank is less than 500K the site has a lot of traffic, less than 5M it has some traffic, more than 15M not much.

I would personally not buy goods from a website that is detected by APIVoid.
There may be false positives of course, but are low.

This option checks if a web shop operator may be located in China.
There is nothing wrong if a website is from China, but many fake shops are hosted there.
We added this additional information only so that you know about this.
Check if Edinburgh.gov.uk has configured an email
The website cannot receive emails on its own email domain.
A web shop should have its own domain email address configured.
For example, website.com should have configured its own email like info@website.com
This is not a big problem because websites may use emails of other domains.
But still it is an important factor that you should know.
Here is what you should check:
- Check the website reviews on TrustPilot
- Validate if the website is a certified site by McAfee SECURE
- Query the WHOIS database to find the domain owner
- Search for website discussions on Reddit
- Check if the website has a valid telephone and email address
- Before buying something contact the website via email
- I would avoid shopping websites that use free emails (i.e hotmail)
- A pair of RayBan cannot cost $15 you know right?
- Investment sites should not ask you money to withdraw your funds
- Do not trust brokers that contact you via messengers or chats
- Make sure the shopping website uses HTTPS connection
- Check if the website has a Facebook or social profile
