If you are an online merchant, one of the biggest obstacles making a successful business is getting paid from your customers.

It was a year ago that I stated 11 reasons why 2007 will be the year for plus size fashion. Thinking back over the last year there have been lots of success stories in the world of plus size clothing. From the opening of boutiques to increased exposure on television to print. 2007 was a successful year for plus size fashion and just the beginning of more good things to come in 2008 and beyond. Updated List  Monif C. Plus Sizes - In addition to being featured on B.E.T.’s Rip the Runway, clothes from Monif C. have been seen of TLC’s What Not to Wear, ABC’s The View, and in Essence magazine. Earlier this year she opened a boutique in New York to showcase her original designs. Rosalee Womesize Apparel - Plus size fashions available in sizes up to 9x. One of the few stores that customize clothing to fit your unique size. Leelee’s Valise - Plus size fashion has yet another boutique for plus size women to shop.

Commission leakage has always been around but it used to be a bit more subtle like a mile high flashing free phone number, now some retailers have plumbed new depths in the bid to avoid paying commissions. On the back of the news from certain mobile phone outlets that any iPhones sold via affiliate links if copy has not been approved will not be eligible for commission, (come on what if we are simply promoting something else and the customer buys one by mistake), we are now seeing the worrying trend from some big name electrical retailers that no commission will be paid on the Wii console. Imagine if it happened in a high street store. Manager “Have you got a minute Jones?” Jones “Certainly sir” Manager “I’m afraid you won’t be getting paid for the last half hour while you served that last gentleman” Jones “Why is that Sir? the customer purchased an Apple iPhone (or Wii)” Manager “Well you see Jones he came into the sh

How businesses market to American teenagers, and the effect they have together on popular culture.About the documentary: They spend their days sifting through reams of market research data. They conduct endless surveys and focus groups. They comb the streets, the schools, and the malls, hot on the trail of the "next big thing" that will snare the attention of their prey--a market segment worth an estimated $150 billion a year.They are the merchants of cool: creators and sellers of popular culture who have made teenagers the hottest consumer demographic in America. But are they simply reflecting teen desires or have they begun to manufacture those desires in a bid to secure this lucrative market? And have they gone too far in their attempts to reach the hearts--and wallets--of America's youth?FRONTLINE correspondent Douglas Rushkoff examines the tactics, techniques, and cultural ramifications of these marketing moguls in "The Merchants of Cool."

Nobody’s perfect. And in the world of business, mistakes are made on the way to success that can either hinder or delay the “planned success” of a business and never has this been truer than for an ecommerce business. Merchants are too quick sign contracts or agreements from ecommerce “helpers” such as free merchant accounts. Free merchant accounts are not the culprit here. And this wasn’t meant to point a finger on who’s to blame. Before entering into any business – whether retail, MOTO, or Internet – agreements & contracts are always present. Some merchants who see free on the paper don’t account the fine print on the contract. That’s one of the downfall of merchants. After a month or two, they go running back to their providers with contracts in hand, only to admit defeat that they have no escape from the dreaded contract. So what are the common mistakes merchants make when getting a free merchant account? Educate yoursel

Just because osCommerce is the most popular merchant account software doesn’t mean it’s the best solution for your online business. Agree or disagree? Do you find osCommerce to be overrated? A lot of high risk merchants adopt osCommerce as their primary merchant account solution because of so many advantages. But, knowing osCommerce is open source (hence the name), there will always be loopholes before merchants can actually find it functional for their specific business needs. OsCOMMERCE BUGABOOS So what are the likely monkey wrenches that might pop out once you start using osCommerce? For those having second doubts, you may be justified. Consider: 1. There are way too few templates in the osCommerce solution. If you attempt to tinker with the stylesheets, it would take a lot of time and a developer’s help to be able to accomplish the best template for your needs. 2. Merchants may be vaguely aware of “attributes”. In order to take full advantage of the li

Two years ago the thought of buying lingerie online for plus sizes was limited, even in regard to overseas merchants. Long time UK merchant LadyBWear is closing her doors but that doesn’t mean that there are not alternatives available for customers in the United States that are looking at international websites for lingerie purchases. Does the merchant ship to the US This should be the first thing to find out about before getting all excited about all the wonderful plus size lingerie and pull out your credit card click checkout and find that the merchant does not ship to the United States. If the merchant has a US and international version of there site then they ship to the US. If not check the Customer Service section of there site for shipping details. Exchange Rate Most international sites that ship to the US will have an money exchange chart on there site if not using your favorite search engine you can find many exchange calculators like The Universal Currency Converter.

For example, with American Express, the card itself has a 4 digit number above the credit card number to manually add before credit cards are processed. Using Visa, MasterCard or Discover? There is a 3 digit number that will need to be manually entered as well, ensuring that the credit card is real.Some information to keep in mind about online credit card processors like PayPal and other companies is they have higher processing fees than most Credit Card Processors because they have a set amount per charge per processing fee, unlike Credit Card Processors that can some times negotiate the processing fees.Most important to the merchant, make sure you research whom you are going through. There are a lot of flashing advertisements out there quoting a specific amount for processing. Make sure it is true. Most of those are for companies that have a very large processing amount. Or process a lot of cards. Protect your self and at the same time that will ensure security to the consumers that

As suspected the reactions from locals in Baghdad neighborhoods to Senator McCains statement about walking freely in their city was incredulity. One merchant said there were so many soldiers with Senator McCain it paralyzed the entire marketplace and ended up being a show for reporters and nothing more. Maybe Senator McCain was just having a bad day? Interviews with the Senator later after leaving Baghdad showed he seemed to be hastily backing away from his previous statements of how safe Baghdad neighborhoods were. Meanwhile CNN reporter and activist Michael Ware denied heckling Senator McCain during press conferences in spite of accounts by people ostensibly at the scene. Other have said they thought maybe he was drunk and not in full control of himself as he has on numerous occasions said that was how he generally spent his free time in Baghdad. Michael Ware has since denied such allegations. ~RJH New York Times article link McCain Wrong on Iraq Security, Merchants Say BAGHDAD, Apr

If you have ever dealt with ClickBank as a merchant or affiliate, you must have come away with a typical initial impression of how it presents sales figures in its classic bar graph and table: BLAND. The data is simply not in-depth, not helpful and not kept for more than a year. Once a data is purged after 365 days, you have no way of keeping in touch with known customers for ongoing product-related issues. If you have ever dealt with Google AdWords and Analytics, you’d wish ClickBank is just as comprehensive in tracking data. When you hardly know who your most hungry customers or best-performing affiliates are, you have no way of strategizing for these special group of people. Leaving things to chance means opportunity costs, and it is simply not the way to run a business. A significant part of the selling process is to be able to track performances. CB Accountant is just about everything ClickBank marketers wish for. It gives you total control over your Clickbank stats, your c

With the Internet playing a major role in purchases, computer hackers pose a risk. Hackers are thieves.

To put it simply, businesses and individuals who make credit card transactions with a merchant expect that their information will be kept private and secure from hackers and individuals on the “inside” who try to steal information for fraudulent purchases. Visa®, MasterCard and other payment cards such as Diners Club, Discover Card and American Express recognized the need to protect their client’s information.
