>From Tomalak's Realm at http://www.tomalak.org MSNBC: Credit-card fraud has become a nightmare for e-merchants. But in the world of Internet retailing, the customers are always right. As a result, whether customers are ripping off merchants or have been victimized themselves by credit-card thieves, it's the merchants who almost always end up losing money. http://www.msnbc.com/news/462835.asp "Some retailers have devised clever schemes to get around the chargeback issue. GetPlugged.com, a Westlake, Calif., electronics retailer, asks customers who want their wares shipped to a different address to call American Express and ask to have the alternate address added to their account. �Once they do that, then we as an e-tailer are not liable for the charges,� says Sunil Mehrotra, the site�s founder and chairman. But an American Express spokeswoman says, �That is not our policy and we don�t want to encourage that� because of the high cost of implementing such changes." --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
