[mv] How safe is e.commerce

[Johan Landman <johan@datatex.co.za>]

******    message to minivend-users from Johan Landman <johan@datatex.co.za>     ******

We are about to launch our first mvend site.
There was some horrific program about credit card fraud on the
internet on one of our local TV stations last night.

It appears as if the major risk lies with the merchant.

We will use SSL from VeriSign and PGP encryption's. Credit card info
will not be stored on the mvend server.

1. What are your real life experiences, from a merchant point of view,
of fraudulent transactions as a percentage of "safe" transactions ?

2. How do we convince the client to trust our site if it is "safe" ?

3. Is there anywhere the list can point us to: on more specific information
on how to secure an ecommerce site ?

All help would be greatly appreciated
