One of PayPal's top executives says Christmas and Holiday shoppers should go online during this holiday shopping season to avoid the hassle and the saturation in the stores. He says sometimes shoppers will get discounts and deals that they can't get in the stories.
The holiday season is one of the most important for retailers because it represents the most important selling season of the year, says Adolfo Babatz, director of business development for PayPal Mexico. Paypal is the company that enables payments through internet without giving information that endangers the safety of money or surfer.
"The current economic crisis, insecurity and saturation in the stores make the Internet an even more attractive option for consumers. The Internet allows you to buy your Christmas gifts well in advance, safely and with discounts one can't get in stores. Today, almost all supermarkets and department stores have a website where they sell their products, often at more competitive prices and better availabilities. This is a safe and practical way to serve customers and process their purchases online," says Babatz to Eluniversal.
While Babatz has a conflict of interest in sending holiday shoppers to buy gifts on the internet, he has a point. Here are some benefits of shopping online:
1. Avoid the bad weather
2. Get discounts and great holiday deals
3. Navigate easily through multiple Christmas gift ideas
4. Have your product shipped to you in advance
5. If you meet minimum shopping requirements, products shipped free
6. Online shopping is safer than ever before
The manager added that PayPal security being the subject of greatest concern to consumers when buying online. However, is important that they are well informed about the tools available to protect your credit card information and choose the websites that are 100% safe for online shipping
Here are some further recommendations from PayPal
Search the site has the Verisign seal, with which it is certified that the website uses encryption processes to process their purchases.
Choose a form of payment that offers protection on your purchases, both in your personal data and the merchandise you're buying. Always choose the payment method to protect you and with a retailer with whom you feel most comfortable. Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Amazon.com and the likes of it are very safe.
Well research and review the terms of product or gift delivery and shipping costs. Many retail sites offer free shipping for certain amount of purchases. There is still much distrust among consumers for entering their credit card data on Web portals. One way to increase security in your purchases and protect your credit information is to use tools such as PayPal (www.paypal.com.mx).
"PayPal is the easiest and safest way to pay and receive payments online," said Babatz, "the service allows you to pay without sharing bank information and the way they prefer, including credit cards, bank accounts or account balance PayPal. Millions of businesses around the world accept payments through PayPal and in Mexico and you can pay with PayPal on major Web sites like Gandhi, SonyStyle or the Palacio de Hierro."
In fact, possibly consider buying from Mexico and having it shipped to U.S. Thus, one may get better deals on Christmas gift shopping.
