Blogpost #6 :Are Pinoys impulsive online shopper?



Online shopping is when you buy a product or a service over the internet. You can purchase almost anything online. The most popular item you can purchase through online is Women’s Apparel. For me, It's a nice idea having this.  You can easily buy the things that you want, just search it and find an online shop who is a reliable seller. How did you know if the seller is reliable? Just go to her or his profile and look for the proofs that he or she is not a bogus seller. 

 Internet plays a vital role in our lives. Internet was practically unknown to most people. However, the Internet has become the most powerful tool for people around the world.  Since technology is widespread, It has advantages to us. Nowadays, Internet makes our work easy. Have you ever try ONLINE SHOPPING?  If not, Let me introduce this to you.

According to the article I have read entitled  "Online Shopping: Safe, Savvy and Smart" by  Chinggay Labrador that online shopping is much more safer than shopping at malls especially when there is an occation like Christmas.. It  is very hard to shop in the mall because of many people. It's the easiest way when you don't have enough time for shopping.


Finding a reliable seller 

Safety is one factor you’ll want to check when Web-shopping—posting sensitive information like billing addresses and credit card numbers can make anyone wary, especially since scammers exist online. Legitimate sites and sellers you can trust, however, are relatively easy to spot. Watch for these telltale signs and signals to weed the good sites from the bad.


  Look for Feedbacks ,Sellers typically publish (good) reviews while collective sites like Amazon and eBay have a rating system where people post both positive and negative comments. “Customers always leave honest feedback,”  For me, Its the best way to know if the seller is a bogus or not. Next stop is, Look for the complete information.You’ll know you can trust a site when the seller’s complete details are posted—a mobile number, a landline number, e-mail address, and complete information on payment and delivery,” I already tried online shopping, its better to know the complete information about a certain site so that you can able to trust the seller. Next is, Word of mouth. Chances are, you know at least one person who’s had some success with online shopping—referrals are a great initiation into the World Wide Web. “Frequent online shoppers already know who to avoid and who to trust,”REFERRALS!!! Its better to have this. A friend or someone who tried to buy something to a certain site.Last is Straightforward return policies. “Reliable sellers always anticipate returns or refunds and assure their customers they won’t have a hard time when this happens,”

Figuring out the payment process

 First, Bank deposits, G-Cash, and Smart Money. For those wary about putting their bank information on the Web, these methods are pretty safe. Online sellers post their account numbers, and customers typically e-mail them a copy of the deposit slip once the transaction has been made. G-Cash and Smart Money go a step further since everything is done via mobile technology. It’s a good idea to check the account name—company name or brand names versus personal accounts are usually more legitimate since they’re more “official.” Second, Cash on delivery (COD). The safest method, paying for your goods only when you receive them in good condition leaves the customer worry-free. Not many sellers practice COD though, since deliveries can be inconvenient and usually involve an added expense because of third party couriers.Third is, Credit card. Sites that have a “Secure Server” icon are typically reliable—one way of checking is whether the site on your browser window starts with “https://”. Take note that when you do pay with your credit card, any information you have may be transmitted to a third party.Fourth is, PayPal. PayPal allows money transfers to be made over the net. You need to register for an account, which you then link up to a bank account or a credit card. This mode of payment is great for purchasing goods in international sites, since some shops restrict credit card purchases depending on one’s billing address. Sometimes, foreign transaction fees are added to the cost, ut PayPal is known or resolving any disputes in case any complaints are filed regarding bad transactions.

Getting your goods

The most exciting part of any online purchase is successfully getting your item! Make sure your goods get to you without any headaches by reading up on the different ways sellers deliver their wares, Registered Mail. Customers usually pay a separate shipping cost for this, although non-delivery of goods is sometimes risky and is usually a problem concerning the post office involved.Pick Up Points. Meeting up with a seller you’re unfamiliar with poses certain risks, so make sure you don’t go by yourself, send a messenger, or are well protected. Always have the contact information of your seller with you.Couriers. Xend Express, Air21, LBC, FedEx, and DHL are typically trustworthy and deliver goods in time for an added price. Each courier offers express options, which may cost higher but gets your goods to you much faster. Tracking numbers are also given so you’re certain about the delivery of your purchase.


ONLINE SHOPPING? Yes, it is the easiest way to buy items you want. Just click, click, and click. There you have it. EASY right? But I think it's also dangerous. Not all sellers are trustworthy . Nowadays, some bogus seller used this business to grabbed our money. They will not sent the items that we bought. Some seller used this business to kidnapped teens. So guys, be careful with this bogus sellers. Know the exact information about them and look for referrals. Hope I helped you guys.
