Reality Of online Shopping
Reality of online shopping in third world countries is still very fading. Even in some progressing countries the scope of online shopping is still very far. This has many reasons and of course needs lots of work before they can come close to somewhat we can say online shopping in USA and Europe. Here we discus few of the reasons.
First and the foremost hurdle in this development is the payment system. Especially in countries like Pakistan where online banking has just come and is still trying hard to get its share in the market, safe and secure means of online payment looks far behind. In developed countries PayPal remains the major source of payment for online shopping sites which is not available in Pakistan. Now with the introduction of easy paisa and UBL Omni things seems to be bit easy for online shopping in Pakistan by ordering from home.
On the other side many of the Pakistan programmers and freelancers are using PayPal somehow and they demand Government of Pakistan to do something for their ease of use. These freelancers use secure usa vpn to operate their PayPal from Pakistan and then withdraw this money through different merchants like 2co and plimus. After these merchants payments are transferred to payoneer credit card that can be used on MCB ATMs. This whole procedure results lots of commissions and profit of freelancers squeezes. With such difficult operation we cannot prosper dream of online shopping Pakistan.
Finally if we are serious to increase e-commerce business of online shopping Pakistan then we have to be serious about our payment systems. More secured and easy to use payment options can increase this business volume by manifolds especially in the field of penny auctions and on spot shopping.
