Turkey was introduced to e-commerce in 1991. However, despite the 20 years that have passed, Turkish people still have prejudices about shopping online. The main reasons for this are that the ordered products do not come out as expected, and for products such as clothing, there can be many reasons such as the product not being suitable for the size. Apart from online shopping, there are also people who do not trust banking transactions such as EFT and money transfer. However, shopping online allows us to buy the product we want at a more affordable price and with more advantageous options. And if we cannot find the product we want in the stores we are looking for, it can be much easier to find it online. You can even use certain shopping sites to buy products sold abroad that are not sold in Turkey.
In fact, shopping online is at least as safe as shopping in a store. There is no harm in shopping from reliable and expert shopping sites.
IPoints to Consider When Shopping Online:
- No e-commerce site will ask for your card password. If they do, you should know that shopping from that site is not safe.
- If you are worried about “Will my credit card information be stolen?” If the e-commerce site has an SSL Certificate that provides payment and communication between the server and the client, you can shop very comfortably. Because this certificate allows you to shop safely by reporting your card information to your bank.
- Be careful whether the e-commerce site you will be shopping from shares its contact information with its customers. Otherwise, you may be left alone in case of any grievance.
- Be sure to keep the warranty document and invoice of the product you purchased online. You can use these two documents not only in stores but also on the website you shop from.
- Perhaps the most important part: Check your product in the presence of the courier. If you receive an unwanted or damaged product, do not accept the product. If necessary, file a report and send the product back.
When making payment, you can use reliable payment technologies such as PayPal, Ininal, BKM Express, etc.
