Common pitfalls of new online businesses Always check your orders at least daily! This is especially true when you first start your business and receive sporadic orders several days apart. Neglecting your customers for several days, especially when your business is in its infancy, is not a good way to build your reputation! Verify payment before shipping. Double check to make sure you ship the right items AND the right quantities. If given, record all tracking numbers. This is proof that you shipped the item and serves as your protection if a dispute should later occur. Verify suspicous orders. If an order seems out of the ordinary or seems too good to be true, it is probably fraudulent. Call the buyer. If you cannot confirm the order, reject the payment. Remember, when a credit card fraud issue arises, the SELLER IS RESPONSIBLE! Good Luck!
