Payment Methods to Use Online
What to Buy Online
Shopping online is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Pretty much anything can be bought online including men’s, ladies and children’s clothing, accessories, cosmetics, baby items, books, electronics, you name it. As long as the price is right and you feel comfortable dealing with a merchant (and there is a satisfactory refund policy in place), shopping online can be not only a time saver, but a money saver!
Not Satisfied With A Purchase?
Simply follow the refund policy instructions that the merchant has provided. Your credit card or other payment method (such as PayPal) should be promptly refunded. However if you’ve contacted the merchant, followed the refund policy and the merchant refuses to refund, contact your credit card for instructions on how to stop or remove the credit charge. There should be a toll free number listed on your credit card statement that you can use. PayPal also has buyer protection policies in place that you should get familiar with.
