probably not, don't trust anything on the internet.  If you want something real go to a real store that has proof of manufaturing that kind of thing.

Here are the main components of an ecommerce site or selling products in an online store:\n\n1. Website - Your online connection to your prospects and customers. If it does not look like a professional, legitimate business - NO ONE WILL ORDER ANYTHING - no matter how great the products you have. If you are serious about doing business on the web, either go back to school and learn html, java, cgi, etc., or hire a professional to design your site. \n\n2. Merchant account - Bank authorized account which allows you to accept major credit cards, electronic checks, etc. Many banks will not give you a merchant account if you do business on the Internet because they may classify it as high risk. Be careful when looking for a merchant account provider! Watch out for hidden fees, high setup fees, and other unscrupulous business practices. \n\n3. Payment Transaction Software - Software which actually processes customer order information, address, credit card number, etc. The data is sent to a credit card authorization network which verifies that the credit card is valid and verifies that the shipping address matches the billing address. A possible warning sign that the card has been stolen is that the billing and shipping addresses do not match. \n\n4. Secure Server Connection - https:// - Link to a special computer which encrypts confidential ordering data for customer protection. You know you are on a secure server when the URL in your browser says "https://". The "s" stands for "secure." If ordering information is not sent via a secure server it can be intercepted by computer hackers. \n\n5. Shopping cart - Software which allows you to accept product orders for multiple products from your website. This software automatically calculates and totals orders for your customers. Some setup must be done in the html code of your website, and the shopping cart software must be installed on the server which hosts your site or on the secure server which accepts sensitive ordering information.

No, and I wouldn't have if someone had pointed it out to me. Their domain bears all the details of a typical fake electronics store. If you perform a WHOIS search (for example at http://www.joewein.net/whois/ ) you get these details:\n\n+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n\n   Domain Name: megastore-electronics.com\n\n   Registrant Contact:\n      Ryan Newman         sseppelo@aol.com\n      2Advanced Tech Support\n      6 Westway\n      South Woodham\n      Ferrers, GB CM3 5NX\n      US\n      +1.7915327696\n\n   Administrative Contact:\n      Ryan Newman         sseppelo@aol.com\n      2Advanced Tech Support\n      6 Westway\n      South Woodham\n      Ferrers, GB CM3 5NX\n      US\n      +1.7915327696\n\n   Technical Contact:\n      Ryan Newman         sseppelo@aol.com\n      2Advanced Tech Support\n      6 Westway\n      South Woodham\n      Ferrers, GB CM3 5NX\n      US\n      +1.7915327696\n\n   Billing Contact:\n      Ryan Newman         sseppelo@aol.com\n      2Advanced Tech Support\n      6 Westway\n      South Woodham\n      Ferrers, GB CM3 5NX\n      US\n      +1.7915327696\n\n   Record created on 2006-01-08 04:54:16.\n   Record expires on 2007-01-08 04:54:16.\n\n   Domain servers in listed order:\n\n      ns1.dreamhost.com\n      ns2.dreamhost.com\n      ns3.dreamhost.com\n\nSo what we have is a site that's just over three months old, registered with a UK postal address but a US phone number and it doesn't mention the name of the supposed business this is the site of. Most fraud site domains were registered within three months because the sites tend to get killed after a weeks when the first victims complain or the stolen credit card for the website hosting bounces.\n\nOther things to check for on electronics store sites:\n- does the currency match the location?\n- do they have SSL (https:) for the ordering system with the padlock showing in IE and a proper certificate (no warnings!)?\n- do any e-Trust and other links do proper verification?\n- do they have a phone number that's either a freephone or matches the geographic location?\n- do they mention Western Union payments? (a big red flag)\n- do they have low prices but high minimum orders? (another big red flag)\n- do they offer free or flat rate worldwide shipping or worldwide on-site warrantee?\n- do they accept credit cards or PayPal? If not, avoid them. If they accept credit cards but then tell you your card was rejected and you must pay by Western Union, assume your card is now in the hands of a Romanian or Russian fraud gang and will be used to pay for the setup of another site like MegaStore-Electronics.com.

I love Ebay!!! I think it is especially safe if you use Paypal and get buyers with Buysafe insurance on the product. I have always received everything I have ordered in perfect condition. Read your descriptions carefully, save the ad until everything goes through and save all communications from the transaction from the seller and from you to the seller. Follow instructions carefully and if it seems to good to be true it may be. If it is a company search them on the Better Business Bureau website. I have only had 1 semi bad experience on Ebay but it was resolved.

Like another poster on here I have noticed the lack of experience, but I do want to point out that while large companies have been around for 20-50 years, e-commerce companies haven't had the same opportunities or time frame to create such experience. Many do indeed take the two year flop and disapear, but there are those that stick around and have large success. With the coming e-commerce boom many of those that are already established or soon get established will do just fine if not very well. \nNow to answer the question since I've babbled for a moment. I do know of a few Internet Home Businesses that do indeed work. Most do take some time and effort, but also produce results. Anything that doesn't take time and/or effort is most likely too good to be true. If you would like additional information on some of the companies/opportunities that I have researched or been a part of feel free to send me an email at your convenience. The reason I am not posting such information is because I don't beleive in spamming or anything of the sort because it takes away credibility, similar to signs posted on telephone poles that claim you can make $1000's every minute if you call that person immediatly. So my email is duh_pariah_papaya@yahoo.com, and I'd gladly pass some information along to you if you would like. Otherwise I hope I've helped to answer your question and good luck in whatever you pursue.

Absolutely not!\n\nAsk for business references that can be verified, and check them.

I have used their Marketbrowser program and it performs nicely for me.  However, I do receive e-mails from them hyping penney gold, penney oil, and other questionable (to my mind) deals.

I'd stay away.  I couldn't find the company registered with the State of California and their domain name is registered with GoDaddy in a way that hides the actual owner.\n\nIf they are "real" they likely sell you wildly overpriced computers.  I certainly wouldn't give them all my personal information.

The Better Business Bureau is the most universal place to go when you want to know anything about any business that is legit.  next time you check there first before you deal with anyone you will be giving some sought of money too. good luck.

Almost none of them are legitimate.  A few years back, I wanted to work at home for those assembling products or stuffing envelopes.  Well, I called the Better Business Bureau first to see what they think about it.\n\nThey told me that nearly all of them are bogus and phony.  Think about it, almost all of them require some kind of money up front to "get started."  Do you think you should have to actually pay somebody to give you a job?  I never have.\n\nAnd with those that have you assemble products at home, BBB told me that when you assemble them and send them in to get paid, they will pick them apart and tell you that there were "flaws" and that you didn't assemble them right and then you won't get paid anyway.\n\nSounds like a scam to me.  The only way to really be safe is to go to the company in person, and if they are very close to where you live.  Other than that, don't just walk away--RUN!!!

I am very experienced with Internet businesses, as I run a couple of Internet businesses, I buy and sell on eBay and I have some customers who have large internet sales businesses.\n\nYahoo answers will not let me publish my web address, but if you write me at yahoo mail, I will be happy to give you any information I can about how to be successful on the web and how to keep from being scammed.\n\n-- Mark
