there is actually an online website that really promotes e-commerce.

you find the item you want, "BUY" it, pay for it (via bank deposits rather than cc) then you just wait 2 days for the item to be delivered to you.

as for the products being sold in the site, there are mp3 players, cellphones, laptops, cameras headphones etcetc. all are warrantied, all are brand new

there are even carparts, but by order.

with regards to "purely" transacting online, i think it will not work (here in the Philippines), mainly because most Filipinos think they are prone to fraud. it doesn't necessarily mean they are, but the "its better safe than sorry" mantra of most Filipinos have kept the whole country from taking advantage of e-commerce. hopefully, with Tradeport we can finally take full advantage of e-commerce even if it is half baked ( bank deposits rather than cc) in any case, there is a nearby bank in almost every corner of the country.

counted ba ebay philippines? i've bought several items from there, contacted the seller directly by email. ok naman, bank deposit (i have no credit card, i dread the thing hehehe), delivered the next day by air21. i prefer bank deposit kasi meron ka record ng transaction. also deal only with sellers with 95% satisfaction and above.

Philippines sa Cebu Pacific pa lang with CC payment. My wife booked a room sa Caylabne online but we paid after the stay.

International I use paypal for ebay. CC for Amazon, expedia, travelocity and a few other sites.

When I was living overseas, I loved online banking. Did all my transactions and bill payments online.

Payment is via credit card. I think you can also opt to pay via bank transfer.

Hindi sya dibidi. DVD talaga. They also sell MP3 players, cameras, and some other electronic gadgets.

What banks can be used? Is it also direct payment to the seller? Any "special discounts" kaya?
