Can I add “free” items to my Paypal shopping cart?
I currently use paypal shopping carts on my website, 1 Madd Max.com. I am going to be releasing some new products but will offer them as an add on to existing items. What I need is a FREE paypal button to add these items to the shopping cart. Currently I cannot do this as the shopping cart needs a currency value to work.
How do I convert visitors into customers?
I have a small ebook I’m trying to sell by using some Google AdWords adverts (and other links), but for the life of me, I can’t seem to get any of the people who come to the information page for the book to convert into buyers. Are there best practices with these targeted pages?
Customer registration: before or after making a purchase?
After a meeting with my IT group a question was raised that received a split vote. Could you steer us in the right direction? The question: Should a web based company make customers register before making a purchase? If so, why?
Are the gift cards offered on eBay legit, or scams?
I am amazed how many people on eBay and such sites can sell dozens if not more of gift cards “claiming” to be worth a mystery amount, is this a scam? Also, I see people bidding on them for $500 dollars that reach near that amount and the sellershas dozens of them? How can anyone afford to lose money and purchase such high dollars amounts? where is the profit in that. I am tempted to bid but but something is fishy about those auctions. Where do they get all those gift cards? thanks for your time, dave
How do I know if an eBay message is phishing?
I buy and sell on eBay quite a bit, so it’s really a pain to worry about possible phishing attempts from delinquents trying to get me to reveal my eBay account and password. How do I easily ascertain if a specific message is from eBay or a phisher?
Auction payment to false name at Western Union?
I’ve been looking for phones online these days and i’ve found someone on ebay selling one. We talked out the price and everything. He asked me to transfer money through Western Union and put the receiver’s name as a fake name where he can’t get the money until I get my product, then once I get my product I would change the receiver’s name back to his name. Is there anything to lose for me? You know, I’m scared to shop online as a first timer. Would you say this is a safe method of payment?
Does “usefulness” feedback on Amazon reviews matter?
I’m a happy Amazon shopper – even for your books, Dave! – but I’ve always been curious: when I see a review and have the option to vote whether it’s useful to me or not, does it actually matter what I click? I’m just wondering if there’s some secret backroom feature that it enables or something?
