i bought and sold online (via paypal) and havent had bother came close ot it once, christmass i got a chqueek and bank it but posted before the monnie cleared....it got returned to me. I know i shouldn't off but the stuff wouldnt have been their for christmass. Contacted the women kicking myself lol but she re-issued the bonced monnie so all was good in the end....Nice to meet an honest person too
That last minet .com grrrr lol that we had the flights with cant find phone number or anything for them so cant complain about the mixed up flights.....but this my first truly "bad" experience with on-line shoping....As cathie was saying good idea to cheek if they have a custemerservice number or address i will in future, think i learned my lesson lol

My son had two charges on his credit card that were not his. Beleive it or not, the bank called him about them before he even got the bill. They thought they were out of the ordinary purchases for him. Isn't that wild? They closed his account and gave him a new number. I thought it was pretty neat that people are watching in some way or another.
Yes, I've heard of great stories like that. Whenever I get catalogue of women's cycling clothing from U.S., I am so sorely tempted since choice is limited for someone of my build. Alot of cycling stores are overweighted in cycling clothing choice for men.
I only use Internet for booking hotel, airline tickets, etc.
Honestly I like the fact that there are no items that you sell through your website Dotsie.
I'm just wondering though if you might want to marketing your website more broadly via national women's magazine in other countries. I discovered this website via MORE magazine.
In Canada, magazines that are national in scope for women are:
Canadian Living Flare (this tends to be more fashion oriented.) Chateline. There is a French language version.

I couldn't bring myself to do it, ladies. I just don't feel comfortable typing out my own credit card number and then clicking on the "buy." I enjoyed shopping around, though! Dotsie and orchid, I buy most of my clothes from QVC. I've learned what labels fit me best and like the fact that no one else has tried the items on before me. I love the Denium and Co. clothes, in particular, because of the fit and wear of material. I buy my Philosophy scents from them, too. Actually, it's probably a good thing that I can't just click on the "buy" button. At least if I see something, I have to actually walk to the phone and dial before the deal is done.

Oh, yeah! The techno geek is an online shopper all the way! I am apparently missing a female gene, as I HATE going into stores to shop. It could have something to do with all the time I spend on the road during the week driving to and from work. One of my favorites is Victorias Secret online. I shop the clearance section only there! There are really too many for me to list here, but a look at my favorites list should give you bunches to work with, Dotsie!
One warning to online shoppers -- it is not recommended that you use your debit cards -- only your credit cards.

Another Ad Alert! I love to shop at www.myboomermall.com and www.babyboomerexpress.comI have actually been shopping online myself for over 6 yrs, and have never had a problem with credit card purchases. I've ordered bits and pieces from several different countries over the years and all have come through without a worry. When you think about it, if anything went wrong, the companys reputation would suffer dramatically, so they do their utmost to keep it 100% safe for customers. Take care,

Hi Queen JJ, I know this is an old post but back on page 1, (on 10/21/06) you mentioned Photo Stamps. I thought they were a great idea too and I have had photo stamps in the back of my mind since then... so imagine my delight when I found what I needed to add them to my website. Specially for DaQueen. They are great for: Wedding invitations Baby announcements Thank you notes Birthday and anniversary parties Scrap-booking Pets and vacation photos Gifts for any occasion And very convenient for business too... Here's the link: http://www.babyboomerexpress.com/rts/index.asp?action=page&name=16488&siteid=1255

I mainly get books online. Especially second hand ones from Amazon. I also have a discount shopping site I use for restaurant coupons, movie tickets etc. If it isn't discounted I rarely shop online although I hear you can get great deals on things like printer ink ....!
