Accepting credit cards payment for your ecommerce website is the most convenient method. Sending cash through mail is slow and unsafe. Cheques take some time to clear. Yes there are many online payment processors but…

I hear people shouting “Paypal” then. I beg to differ though. I’m not really a fond user of Paypal. Throughout the years, I heard many horror stories of chargeback issues or Paypal freezing your account if someone sent you stolen funds.

The best option left is credit card payment. Msmerchantaccount is one company which offers merchants to accept credit card payments. You can be a webmaster who wants to process credit card payments for your ecommerce website or an owner of a brick and mortar business. Msmerchantaccount has the solution for you as a business owner.

Msmerchantaccount says:

Modern credit verification systems are very reliable and do prevent charge-backs with a great degree of success.

With this assurance, you do not have to worry about credit card fraud when people try to pay you online.

What I like best about Msmerchantaccount is they accept all kinds of business from the new startup to the established companies. They will work out a suitable transaction fees to offer you the lowest rates possible.

Incomestorm is progressing well into 69 days. I’m still receiving payment from Incomestorm every day except yesterday. I will post payment proof once I received yesterday payment. In fact, many members were quite concerned with pending payment from Incomestorm from what I read in MMG and Talkgold forums.

Psadvertising is crusing so comfortably that the daily ROI has been set to 8% and ad packs lowered to $10 each. Now you just need to take 15 days to reach the maximum ROI of 120%. The momentum of Psadvertising is strong and it is one of the better autosurf programs out there.

Payment proof from Incomestorm and Psadvertising

Update: I just received payment after about 48 hours.

Blogsvertise has paid me for writing an article on Dclickads - Internet Advertising Services. This is the first time I received payment from paid to blog program. I’m very comfortable in using Blogsvertise but the number of assignments are way too little. Since joining them about 1.5 months ago, I have only received two assignments. Of which I rejected one of them. If they can woo more advertisers, it will be good news for all members of Blogsvertise.

As many of you know the beauty of Dealdotcom lies in the fact that it only sells one product per day and the price the seller offers has to be lower than usual. It is a very similar concept to Woot.

How wonderful it would be if there is a plugin to place in the sidebar that shows the image and price of the featured product automatically every day.

Bluefur has come out with one sweet Dealdotcom plugin that updates the featured product every day. You can download the plugin here. Do note that this is version 0.9 beta. The programmer has already fixed many bugs prior to this version. He has been helpful in fixing my image width problem whenever I use Opera browser to view.

How to use this plugin

1) Deactivate any prior version of this Dealdotcom plugin if you have installed one previously. Please ignore if this is a fresh installation

2) Download here.

3) Unzip the file and upload to wp-content/plugins folder

4) Activate the plugin

5) Customize the plugin in the Options tab

A reader of mine emailed me that he also has a Dealdotcom plugin for non-wordpress bloggers.

You may view his plugin which is coded in javascript here.

Important Note - Please remember to change the referral ID when you are using either of these two plugins.

Honestly, I’m pretty fed up of viewing sales page.

I thought it will be good to share my eBay sales report for the month of August 2007. As mentioned in “Tips That Even Some eBay Sellers Do Not Know“, August and January are the slowest months in terms of sale in eBay. These two months are the period where most people left for vacations.

As shown in the chart below, my overall sales in June and July fared much better than August. There is a dip in sales in the slow moving month of August. The rule of thumb is either offer some sort of promotional sale in August to boost your sales or take a vacation. You will not be able to cover your eBay listing fees if your items do not sell.

The picture below shows the entire August 2007 summary. I’m selling items that are cheap which average US$13. It shows that you can really sell practically under the sun. Start looking around your room. Your junk may be someone else gem. Do refer to my article “Things That You Can Sell In eBay Auctions” if you need some inspiration of what you can sell. The list is definitely not conclusive. But it should give you a good guide to kick start your business in eBay.

I have been selling in eBay since 2001 and along the way I have made mistakes. Learning from the mistakes is the most important. Even now, I do make some mistakes here and there. I’m not shy to admit my mistakes and share with my readers.

Meanwhile, be patient if you do not achieve your sales target. Most customers are price sensitive nowadays. It will be worthwhile if you can perform your own market analysis with regards to the product you are selling.

I will be sharing more eBay tips and those mistakes I have made while I continuing blogging about making money online.
