The Heaven

Adam just didn't want to live in God's heaven anymore, because that was God's heaven and not Adam's heaven. So he left heaven in order to create his heaven.

Safe Trading Tips Home

eCommercePortal is committed to making your trading experience safe and simple. By providing you with 

as much information as possible about potential buyers and sellers, we help both you and your trading 

partners make informed business decisions. These Safe Trading Tips are designed to help you take 

advantage of eCommercePortal\'s services in identifying trustworthy trading partners as well as online 

and offline resources that can help to make your internet experience more secure and safe.

There are a number of actions you can take to research your potential business partner whom you have 

met on the internet, so that you can reduce the risk of being subject to a fraudulent transaction or 

business misunderstanding. These include:

Verify the Identity of Supplier/Buyer

Always confirm if the address, phone number and email address given to you by your trading partner 

belongs to the same company. If a trader provides inconsistent contact details, for example an address 

in the India and phone number from another country, we recommend you look up the address in the local 

phone directory and obtain the local phone number, and call this number to confirm that the person you 

are in touch with actually works for the company. Similarly, if a partner\'s email heading states that 

they work for a certain company, you should verify this. Be aware that some scam artists could alter 

their return email address heading to make it look like they work for a company that they don\'t.

Check the Partner\'s Background

Background checks from independent third-party sources include a search for legal registration and 

credit reports. In many countries the existence of a company and its legal status is a matter of 

public record. Check with the companies registry in the partner\'s country to ensure that the company 

exists with a valid registration. If you cannot have independent access to your partner\'s 

registration information, ask your partner to provide you with a Certificate of Good Standing issued 

by the companies registry of his country or state/province. You can also gain further knowledge about 

your partner by ordering a credit history report from a local credit agency. Credit history reports 

contain information about the partner\'s business history in their relationships with banks and other 

trading partners. Go to contact credit agencies which can provide credit history reports. 

A personal meeting

Whenever possible, meet your business partner in person and visit his company\'s facilities. While the 

internet offers you a wealth of information on your potential partner which enables you to make an 

initial assessment, there is no substitute for face-to-face contact.

Protect Yourself When Ordering or Providing Samples

As a buyer, order a sample before committing to a purchase order to be sure that the product meets 

your expectations. As a seller, request payment for a sample and/or payment for shipping costs before 

you send out the sample, especially if your product has a high resale value.

Pre-Shipment Inspection Services

If you are a buyer, you can protect yourself against poor quality by ordering a pre-shipment 

inspection of the products. You can demand the inspection as a condition to payment.

Protect Yourself Against Payment Risk

If you are a seller and have not been doing business with your partner for very long, avoid selling 

your products on open-account (in which case you are extending credit to your buyer). Instead ask your 

buyer to open a letter of credit (an \"L/C\").

Protect Yourself Against Payment Risk-You Are the Buyer

If you are a buyer, sometimes a supplier may ask you for a deposit before he accepts the order. While 

this is not unusual between long-standing trading partners, if you are doing business with the 

supplier for the first time, make sure you have done sufficient background checks on the supplier 

before you agree to the deposit, or ask for a different form of payment, such as a letter of credit. 

If the seller seems more focused on payment than any other issue, or indicates that cash payment must 

be made urgently, more caution should be given to the transaction. Be extra cautious when the seller 

asks you to send money to an account whose real owner cannot be traced; for example, you cannot trace 

the real name of the person behind an account with a wiring service such as Western Union. 

Tips When Receiving Payment as a Seller 

If you are a seller and have not been doing business with your partner for very long, avoid selling 

your products on open-account (in which case you are extending credit to your buyer). Instead ask your 

buyer to open a letter of credit (L/C). 

Tips When Make Payment As a Buyer 

If you are a buyer, sometimes a supplier may ask you for a deposit (generally 30%) before he accepts 

the order. While this is not unusual between long-standing trading partners, if you are doing business 

with the supplier for the first time, make sure you have done enough background checks on the supplier 

before you agree to the deposit, or ask for a different form of payment, such as a letter of credit. 

If the seller seems more focused on payment than any other issue, or indicates that cash payment must 

be made urgently, more caution should be given to the transaction. Be extra cautious when the seller 

asks you to send money to an account whose real owner cannot be traced; for example, you cannot trace 

the real name of the person behind an account with a wiring service such as Western Union. 

Fake E-mail Addresses

It is possible for anyone with some technical knowledge to send an email with a fake address. When you 

receive an email from someone you know or whose email address appears legitimate, but the message of 

the email looks suspicious, you can verify whether the email came from the person whom the sender 

claims to be by using a simple procedure to check the email address. test adding trade safety tips

Computer: masculine or feminine word?

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

‘House’ for instance, is feminine: ‘la casa’

‘Pencil,’ however, is masculine: ‘el lapiz’

A student asked, “What gender is ‘computer’?”

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether ‘computer’ should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men’s group decided that ‘computer’ should definitely be of the feminine gender (‘la computadora’), because:

1 – No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2 – The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3 – Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval;

4 – As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine (‘el computador’), because:

1 – In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2 – They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves;

3 – They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem;

4 – As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.
