5 Commandments Of International Online Shopping Every Shopper Must Follow!

Click. Click. Click. Click. Couple more clicks. Voila! *Thank you for shopping*

Ah! Words fall short while describing the extreme joy of online shopping, my friend. It fuels our shopper souls and fills it with the content of owning the things we wish to own. The whole WIDE web is at our perusal and we can shop from any corner of the world and get it shipped to our home-sweet-home. What’s even more satisfying is the pleasure of buying things still not available in our country, yet!

Like billions and me around the world, if you have indulged your soul into pleasures of click-buying, then I am guessing you’re aware of the unsaid commandments that we, the online shoppers, hold sacred. If not, it’s never too late to adapt them.

So, place your hands over your mouse or mousepad of your laptop or your phone, and repeat after me…

1. Thou shalt read everything about the product and deal before cart-ing them.

C’mon! This is a given. Isn’t it?

 

2. Thou shalt read the ratings and the comments very diligently.

Information is key and it is there for a reason, so make use of them.

 

3. Thou shalt check the overseas price, shipping and customs costs.

When you wish to be ahead of the trends of your region, there is a small price you have to pay called shipping fee and customs.

 

4. Thou shalt not skip the ‘Read the Global Shipping’ policy section.

It’s better to know the policies of the site you are shopping from and the necessary documents required.

 

5. Thou shalt always choose PayPal as your payment option

Duh! How would you shop globally if it was not for PayPal? Paypal makes shopping from overseas more safe and secure with their Buyer Protection Policy. They even have Refunded Returns Policy as an additional measure to safeguard the international shopper. You can set-up your PayPal account in a few steps and start shopping globally, more securely.

 

But, have you ever wondered what kind of a shopper are you? Why don’t you take this PayPal Shopping Personality Quiz that will reveal your shopping personality? There’s iPad and goodies in store people.?

And once the referred friend makes an international purchase using PayPal, 2 lucky winners can stand a chance to win the prized iPad and 8 others can stand a chance to win fitness bands and JBL speakers.
