About Online transaction of BL mangas

⚣_Holic September 7, 2017 4:20 pm

I am totally new to this. So forgive me if my questions sound stupid. For the longest time I have been reading BL online. Now, I think it's time to start building my personal collection & support My Fav Mangakas. So I want to buy BL mangas online. So, I would be REALLY grateful if someone breaks down the steps to me about online transaction & answer a few of my queries
- How safe it is?
- Which site is your fav for online transaction?
- Do you guys use credit cards? Or Paypal?
- Which one do you think is safer? credit cards OR paypal?
- Have there been any incident where you have been conned or heard of anyone being conned?
- Have you ever received a defected product?
- What do you do then?
- How many days does it take for the stuff to be shipped/delivered?
- Do shipment charge costs a lot?

FYI: My country falls under South Aisa.
AND Thanks to anyone who has the patience to read & answer my long list of question :P

    The site I use depends on what I'm buying. You can often buy them straight on the website of the publishers. Amazon is usually a decent option. Barnesandnoble.com actually has more of a selection than you might think also. I always just use my credit card info, and have never had an issue, though some say paypal is the better option. I usually buy e-copies, so I get them immediately with no shipping cost or risk of shipping errors. If you are buy physical copies and are buying straight from the publisher or a mass seller like Amazon or one of the major online book retailers like Barnes & Noble, you should have minimal risk of defected products, and there should be options right on the site to report any issues you might have. Shipping charges and timeframes for delivery will vary hugely depending on where you are in relation wherever it's coming from. I honestly could not even begin to answer for you, given that we live in different parts of the world. You can look that up on the site, though.

    Wow! That's a really valuable piece of information for me. So that's why a lot of internet users prefer paypal! I was wondering why such a large group of people likes using paypal. Thanks a lot for your answer :)
