Selling women's clothes online

Q: I am doing business online. I sell portraits and paintings, etc. I also sell hand painted hijaabs and sharee gowns. I like to wear beautiful clothes at home. From here I feel a hijaabi sister can wear attractive clothing when they are at home in front of maharams.

1. Am I in a trap of shaitan if I think this way?

2. Can I sell these clothes to non hijaabi sisters?

3. Is it permissible to do this type of business?

4. I know that niqaab is a permissible dress code in islam, but there are many controversies about hijaab. Can I sell hijaab?

Selling an item online without seeing it

Q: In a business dealing, person A purchases a product online from person B and sells it to Person C without seeing the item. Is it permissible?

So instead of person B sending the item to person A, he will send it straight to Person C. It is 2 different transactions as person A will pay person B for the item and will sell it for a different price to person C.

So is it allowed for person A to get the item sent straight to person C or should he receive it himself then send it.

Returning a fake item that was purchased while thinking that it was original

Q: I'd like to find out a masla regarding an item which was bought via WhatsApp.

A brother posted a picture of a blender in a such a packaging that it could not be seen that it's fake. It stated no guarantee nor warranty. Once the product was delivered, we found out that the blender was not original but rather a copy of the original. The advert did not state that its original neither fàke. I'd like to know if I'm obliged to take it and pay him or can I refuse him.
