can someone verify if this is a scam i have ordered a bag and money has been deposited from my account. I did not get a email to state my order has been processed. I emailed them numerious times to find out about my order and got nothing back. There is no other way to contact them except a contact page, no telephone number. Not sure what to do?

I've just tried to load up the site you've mentioned, my browser reported no trace of such a site. However, there is a site called : http://www.showbagonline.com. Is this the one you mean?
The 'who-is' of this site suggests it is a fake site, only registered for one year, no contact details apart from a phone number, appears to be located in China.

I suspect that you'll not be able to get your money back, you should check with your bank, see if they can do anything.

Hi klander. As Inspector pointed out, it's looking bad I'm afraid.
showbagsonline.com: error happens when the domain does not exist.
re: xia men Fujian 361200. The area of fujian is very well known as an area where scammers operate from.
If you saw the site on alibaba, I would be very hesitant indeed.
