Looks sketchy as fuck.

Poor website design, site uses hotmail as a contact email, and doesn't accept PayPal. Thats a big waving flag right there.

and this:
Paypal's commission is too high and the poor experience,whatever we do any deal with our customer,Paypal will extract a high promotion commission.we have many bad experience by paypal,in that it make the every deal last a long time and sometime lead to our business to be cheated by disloyal buyers.Board of Directors decided that We will not accept paypal because we have built longrelationship with Bank of America and Money Gram .

If you ever need to ask if a site is legit or fake, it will almost always be fake.

That being said, if you find a really good deal but the website is sketchy as hell, you should already know the answer. If they cannot employ or pay someone enough to maintain/build a good website, how is it that they have the money or buying power to make things so cheap?

heres a tip if you ever encounter another website/company you're unsure of.

google the URL in quotations with the word scam after outside the quotations.

http://www.google.ca/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=%22hot-sell.com%22+scam&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest
should answer your questions pretty quick
