| Millions of people shop on-line every day! The biggest fear of shopping on-line is that someone may get your credit card number and run up charges on your account! The truth is, that it's easier for a clerk in a store or someone going through your garbage, to get your account number then it is for someone to get it on-line! And, with credit cards, you can dispute the bill! Almost all credit cards companies, do not hold you liable if someone steals your card or makes unauthorized charges on it! Shopping on-line is as safe as shopping in your local department store! ********** You can get better pricing and more choices by shopping on-line! By shopping locally, you are limited on your choices and the price you pay! On-line, you have the world as your shopping mall! If you use a site like The Pokyden, you can find the product that you are looking for, go to that page and get a list of stores that handle it. Then it's a simple matter to click on the different stores to compare pricing. Very little time wasted, no gas used and no bad weather to fight! Shopping on-line just makes good sense! At one time, almost everyone shopped from catalogs! Many still do. Shopping on-line is no different then shopping from a catalog! Your computer is like having thousands of catalogs! ********** Credit Cards versus Debit Cards! That ATM(debit) card that you use, just may not be as great as you think! Using a regular credit card, you can dispute any purchase for up to sixty days and you're not held liable for purchases that you didn't make! With an ATM card, it's as if you gave cash! The money is electronically withdrawn from your account immediately! This means that if you're not happy with your purchase, you must rely on the merchant to be willing to give you a refund or exchange. Worse yet, once someone has the number of your card, they can charge to your card, electronically, whenever they feel like it. If this happens, it's up to you to prove the charge was not authorized, and after a long battle, you may or may not get your money back! If at all possible, only use your debit card at an ATM machine! ********** Shipping Charges! Yes, it's true, shipping charges can add to the price of your purchase when buying on-line! However, look around, a lot of stores offer free shipping if your purchase is over a certain dollar amount. And, usually, if the store that you are buying from is out of state, you're saving the tax you normally pay at your local stores which can make up for the shipping cost. If that's not enough to ease your mind about paying shipping, how about figuring in the cost of the gas you burn running around shopping or the value of the time you save? Shopping on-line can save you money! ********** |
