Before You Shop Online



I was thinking about writing my experiences as online seller on blog, when I found so many people searching on web about other people's online buying experiences. Indeed it's hard to find real good seller. Not just make sure that the web is not a scam, but also providing quality that worth the price.

So I'm trying to share my experience about online buying first, since I sell fashion stuffs that i buy them on online webs before. Here few tips for you:

1. Make sure the web is not a scam, by searching reviews about it. You can find these reviews on blogs and forums. You can try some keywords like "the web name + scam" or "the web name + review".
2. Choose web that provides PayPal payment method. In online selling, there are several ways to pay our order: submitting credit card number, PayPal, Western Union and Money Gram. People generally choose credit card and PayPal because sometimes they not charge dollars every time you use them. But using PayPal is safer than submitting credit card number. Because you don't have to entering your card number anymore, which is brings you more risks on internet security. You just have to log in to your PayPal account and send money to the merchant. Mostly webs that provide PayPal payment method have automatic integration with PayPal. So instead of open PayPal site first, you can just click on a button to start paying after checkout your order on merchant's web.
3. Read very carefully to the seller's terms and condition. If there's something about the article you don't understand, don't hesitate to contact the seller.
4. Before decide to buy stuff you like, you have to make sure about product's information to prevent disappointment, like the color, material, size et cetera. If you don't understand about some terms of material they use, ask the seller.
5. Some countries have different sizing, so you have to chack out carefully about size chart table.
6. Online shops usually have after-sales service, including return and refund rules. You have to read this carefully, because just after you pay, it means you agree with all the rules.

So well, on next articles I will share other details.. See ya ^^
