thursday
i have been wheeln and dealn on the web since ecommerce was very sketchy...did my order go through? did it really work? will i receive the right stuff? will my credit card statement read XXXflicks.com?
my first purchase was a book from amazon.com when it looked like this.
i buy a lot of stuff on line. lots of computer gadgets and hardware, clothes (too many clothes), coffee, eBay now and then, itunes, you name it...i probably have bought it. i
also have been notified that my credit card had been snagged from a web host in new york i once used for a client. so i have seen that side too.
i use a credit card with a low limit strictly for the web so it was no big.
and the bank corrected everything too!
lately i have been using ebates.com. they basically pay you to shop...sorta. basically they have a list of sites (700) you can browse and when you make a purchase can get some money back, free shipping or some coupons. you log in, find the store you want to buy stuff at, click - buy and that is it. the send out a check every month. give it a try you can setup the account for free.
only draw back i have is remembering to log in to the site then go to the store...i get so worked up i just wanna buy in a click! (btw i am in my boxers as i type this).
