Many months have passed since I put up my merchant’s website online. It only registered a handful visitors. How can I attract more customers to my website?

Use direct mail

It is the best way to reach the exact type of people who would buy the products you sell.

Research has shown 98% of consumers bring in their mail the day its delivered ( I know the mailbox is the first place I go when I get home), and that 99% of post cards get read and 73% of envelopes get openend.

SO…How do you turn a captive audience into money?

You do what 90% of busineses Don’t do….and that is…Do your homework! and be prepared !

If you do…your direct mail will be successful for you. …just ask any business who uses direct mail over and over….do you suppose its because they’ve figured out how to make it work? …yup.

There are some great direct mail tips at

I called Paypal, securepay, and merchant warehouse and they all say one thing on the phone but say nothing when I ask them about the thousands of customers and sellers that’s been screwed by theses companies. For example I read about them from (ripoff report.com, paypal sucks, BBB). Is there a legit merchant transaction service out there?

I’ve used paypal for years and I haven’t had any problems with it. Once I had a fraudulent ebay transaction and paypal returned all my money back …

TrialPay is a legit company, but I’m pretty sure that isn’t their support email. It looks like a fake email with a TrialPay logo on it doesn’t it?
I didn’t send any money. It was a deal my girlfriend was going to do, and I was looking it over to make sure nothing suspicious was up with it. I don’t like the idea of sending MoneyGrams. She’s calling TrialPay tomorrow to clarify what their support email address is, and checking if this is a scam.

I bought a camper with the same trialpay letter you show above. The same money everything. Yes I was scammed. I am now filling out papers with the FBI, local police cant help they said no crime was commited where I live the crime is in NY. I just don’t understand how Loyd Rowland my rep from Trialpay and Trevor Lynn have been getting away with this. Loyd used a picture ID to pick up the money so why cant they catch him. If they are uncatchable then maybe we should all do it to recover our money.

If a merchant refunds a customer’s money before the customer requests a refund, before a customer even files a dispute, is there any way for this to be considered internet fraud?

No, for it to be fraud, there has to be a theft. You aren’t out any money so there is no fraud.

Not Paypal

I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to your question, but I felt sorry for you as nobody else seems to know the answer either.

I want to open an online store but I don’t which company is better out there? Should I go with Network Solutions (http://ecommerce.networksolutions.com/) or Yahoo! Merchant Solutions (smallbusiness.yahoo.com/ecommerce/)? Maybe there is a better and cheaper company out there that I don’t know about? Any suggestions?

Thanks

It all depends on how much knowledge you have. If you know how to build an website with no help then you can use the cheapest provider like godaddy.com If you don’t know how to build a website then I would say Yahoo that is what I used at first to learn the basics. At least they build the templates and you just have to fill in your info and logos. Also, They have merchant accounts so you can accept credit cards and debit cards online. All around they do all the hard work for you and make it look easy. If you have knowledge then get godaddy.com and use dreamweaver to build your site. Good Luck to you
