Protect my credit card number?
Hello, I have never purchased anything online before because I guess I’m afraid of my credit card number being hi-jacked. How can I be sure when I am purchasing something online that it is not going to be stolen?
I know I may be a little behind the times here, but if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Website Security Feature To Look For!
Whenever you are shopping online it’s a good idea to make sure, BEFORE you enter any of your personal or credit card information, that you are connected to the order page in a secure fashion. The quickest way to tell is by looking up at the top of your browser where it displays the website location you are currently visiting. If it does not start with https:// then you are NOT connected to a secure page. Most websites you visit will start with http:// (notice that there is no “s” in there). The “s” in https shows you are connected securly. (4TWT2KMYXG9A)
A Beginner’s Guide to Online Shopping Malls
If you’re new to Internet shopping, then you’re going to be overwhelmed with how many shopping malls are available online today. There are online malls that offer everything from jewelry to DVD players to cell phones. There are malls that specialize in one particular category such as sporting goods, toys or electronics. There are even shopping malls that offer products from many different countries. The choices are endless.
Here’s a quick guide to online shopping malls that reveals how to choose the right Web site for a fantastic shopping experience.
Product Organization
A key ingredient for a great online shopping mall is site organization. Make sure the site is divided by categories and subcategories to make finding your products quick and easy.
One example is a category such as “Sporting Goods” and then a subcategory named “Camping.” Under the “Camping” category, a shopper can locate different types of camping equipment.
Another example might be a main category called “Video Games,” a subcategory called “Game Consoles,” and then the actual products – Xbox 360 and PSP 2.
Having organized categories helps keep the mall homepage from being cluttered with hundreds of unrelated products while also providing a quick way to find what you’re looking for in the shopping mall. There should also be a quick search feature that enables you to search for specific items or brand names.
Payment Methods and Security
Be sure the shopping mall offers secure, convenient payment methods such as credit card acceptance. Some malls accept checks, money wires, money orders, COD, or other methods as well.
To be sure the payment page is secure, check the bottom of your Web browser for a secure lock/key symbol and also check the Web URL address for an “S” after the “HTTP.” Example: “https:// ” in the browser’s Web address field. This means the page is an SSL encrypted page that has been designed for processing orders in a secure fashion.
If you feel uncomfortable about ordering at a particular shopping mall, do a Web search to find out if there are any negative comments about the mall’s customer service. Silence about the company is usually a good thing!
Shipping and Handling
Before ordering from any online shopping mall, you should understand their shipping terms and costs. Make sure there are no hidden fees for processing the order. If the item is being shipped overseas, be sure to keep all receipts and tracking information for your shipment. Some malls have several distribution centers in a variety of locations, giving you the benefit of a faster, less expensive shipment.
Products Galore
Many online shopping malls today can offer hundreds, or even thousands, of products at discount prices because they don’t actually carry inventory. Once you find a mall that’s dependable, you can literally do all your online shopping there!
Imagine shopping for the holidays at only one location – and never leaving your home. You can purchase a new home theater for your spouse, a camcorder or digital camera for your son or daughter, a new TV for yourself, or even luggage for your friend who is a frequent traveler.
Products are available for men and women, boys and girls. Whether buying perfumes, a car audio system, a computer or lingerie, a shopping mall on the Web usually has it all. The product list is endless, and buying in quantities usually means savings on shipping as well.
The next time you’re thinking of driving to the nearest mall, go Web surfing first to discover the many benefits of online shopping malls.

I want to start an online shop, but I just have one question?
I want to start my own online shop (just for minimal profit, nothing too major). I want to sell some of my old stuff (books, electronics, etc.), but would people actually buy these things? I would have a money-back guarantee and everything would be secure, but how does a shop online get it’s first sale? I know all about marketing and what not, but would people actually believe that I am a legit at-home shop?
