Convince the customers of that. One of the highest fears they have is that of using a credit card online. Most of this is media hype since the amount of credit card fraud online is not much higher than in real life transactions and all of the rules favor the customer anyway. The problem is getting more than the techies to believe that they are as safe or safer than giving their card to a waiter who is making minimum wage and will be out of your site for five to ten minutes! Now you expect them to send hard money with no recourse except legal means to get their money back? Then how do you determine a reputable merchant? By reading this list? I would get the impression that all that is out there is a bunch of scams, hackers, and general con men. Then there is everyone's favorite e-qold which seems to surface regularly. And let's not forget the conspiracy theories, Secret Service raids, offshore accounts, and money laundering advocates. Scary place the gold world seems to the lay person.
