Ever since the Internet became a tool that enabled companies to marketservices and or goods, there has been a stigma against purchasing anyproduct over the Internet. This is due to press reports of the many"Scams". Now that the ebook is coming to the fore, many authors areplacing their faith in a growing number of Internet publishers.Publishers such as Global Publishing Bureau Limited(http://www.gpb.surf1.com), Hollow Hills Publishing and not to forgetAmazon. Companies such as these are taking the lead in promoting thework of new and existing authors from all over the world. Themisinformation attached to the transmission of credit card details overthe Internet needs to be dispelled, this is so the growing market inePublishing can be developed alongside and in conjunction with theconventional publisher. Professional and well regulated Internet publishing companies, as wellas the merchant banks they employ make every effort to ensure that thecredit card details and information sent to them is well protected. The purchasing public and Internet users should be made aware thattransactions made over the Internet are only secure when the transactionis made through a secure web page. The purchaser can check, beforeentering their details in to any computer attached to the Internet bylooking for a little coloured padlock on the bottom right of the creditcard payment page. The padlock indicates that the transaction is beingprocessed through a secure server. Encryption and many other types ofdata protection achieve the required safeguards that will insure yourinformation is protected. Authors, who market their books through Internet Publishers, generallyreceive considerably higher royalty rates than authors who market theirbooks through publishers that publish and distribute books viaconventional means. Unfortunately, at present, the large market that isavailable to the author through the Internet cannot be realised; this isdue to the fears and miss information that the tabloid press portraysabout the Net. I do not advocate that there is not a problem with some transmissions ofpersonal and confidential information over the Internet. However, ifthe purchasing public were made aware of the fact that there is a safe,secure facility that reputable sites use, the chances are thatconfidence in this vast market may begin to develop.Things to look for in a website that sell a product over the Internet.1. Secure website trading. A padlock in the bottom right of the paymentpage. 2. The Link ink to the secure payment page should be prefixed with an'S' i.e. shtml:// rather than just html:// 3. Is there information about the bank, who's facilities are used on thewebsite? If the website is a reputable one, then there is generally alink to, or information about the Merchant Bank that the Web Company isin partnership with. 4. Do not be afraid to ask either the website owner or the merchant bankfor more information about their facilities. If the information is slowin coming or does not come at all, do not make your purchase.With the Internet 'BOOM' fizzling out to a muffled 'bang'! Now is a goodtime to place the bad press and misinformation to one side. Purchasingover the Internet can be safe as long as you take care and heed thedanger signs.
