Years ago when the need to buy a new product in the supermarket or in the magazine store I loved so much was everyday, this led me to take a bus or private car to Irlo to buy with the money I received with the effort of my work Or, it was an emotion he could not describe. I always loved to buy books to read, it was my passion, to read issues of laws, religion, politics; Well, thanks to that I am what I am today, a lawyer of international trajectory called Ismael Gerli.

Now everything has changed, because it is no longer necessary to go to a place to buy something much less have to worry about having cash on top to pay, because since the technology tucked us with its facilities has allowed us to achieve in a matter of minutes what N It took hours and even annoyances such as the seller to say: “Product exhausted”, “the price increased”, “not what I was looking for.”

However, the advancement of technology has brought us something wonderful that is to make purchases online indifferently from your geographical position, ie from your home, work, from the mountain or even under water with these devices That we call “cell phones or smartphones” that are now capable of running underwater.

This is called e-commerce which consists in the distribution, sale, purchase, marketing and supply of products or services information through the Internet., where you visit a website of the store, you see their products and if you are interested in something, you pay with your Credit card, virtual wallets or other acceptable means of payment and that product comes to your doorstep, easy, doesn’t it? But as all good has its bad part, sometimes for lack of knowledge to not know that, if the store is or not a reliable source and not know how to use these means, we are victims of scams.

I, Ismael Gerli explain how, when and where to buy online, this may help reduce the likelihood of being scammed, there may be many ways, but I think these are the most important.

How to buy?

  • Verify that the websites you visit are real, verifying that the company has a verifiable local address where you can call at any inconvenience.
  • Never provide your debit and credit card details if the payment gateway does not belong to a verifiable banking industry, avoid virtual wallets such as Skrill, Neteller, etc.
  • Always look for other opinions and suggestions from friends or family who have made purchases, because the reference is always the best ally to distrust.

When to buy?

  • When there are offers.
  • When the price of a product equal between different stores is variable, select the best price.
  • When they offer better guarantees.

Where to buy?

There are millions of e-commerce stores where you can know that about 30% are to swindle your buyers. Well, I recommend the stores that lead the e-commerce market.

  • Amazon
  • Ebay
