BuySafe Rolls Out Bonding Service for Retail Websites--ZenCart
Quote:Website owners have a choice of 2 programs: Certified Merchant or Bonded Merchant Quote:You can switch between the two options at will*. Test it and see what works best on your site. I added the Certified Merchant seal to all our stores. I didn't see an option to choose the Bonded Merchant option or to "switch at will" in my account. Quote:buySAFE revenue comes from the bond guarantees purchased by buyers. I'm not sure how or where buyers purchase the bond guarantees. Telephone! I guess I'll call BuySafe and ask. Negative: The BuySafe seals take a few seconds to appear. |

[/quote] I know, but wouldn't it be worthwhile if your conversion rate goes up enough to cover the additional cost? 1%=$10 per $1000 in sales You know I sure as hell don't know, Amy. |

Re: BuySafe Rolls Out Bonding Service for Retail Websites
Quote:wouldn't it be worthwhile if your conversion rate goes up enough to cover the additional cost? If the conversion rate was higher it would be worth the cost but I don't think the conversion rate will be much higher because I doubt if many web shoppers outside of eBay have heard of BuySafe yet and the ones who have heard of it probably don't know the difference between the Certified and Bonded shields. If a lot of merchants join BuySafe and it gains wider recognition among buyers then I think there will be a bigger difference in conversion rates between the two. quoting myself Wrote:If a lot of merchants join BuySafeMany smaller sellers won't meet BuySafe's requirements or won't want to disclose the required information (see below) BuySafe requirements when we joined 2 years ago: Quote:business license

Thanks for the info, bbh. I had a feeling it wasn't as simple as it sounded.

Re: BuySafe Rolls Out Bonding Service for Retail Websites
Quote:1%=$10 per $1000 in sales That would cost me significantly more than my combined yearly fees for HackerSafe and BBB. Another seal might be overkill. I already have BBB, HackerSafe, BizRate, Verified by Visa, MasterCard SecureCode, and Thawte SSL seals on my website. |

Sneaky's suggestion to buySAFE
Add the listings of certified and bonded website merchants to buysafeshopping.com.
