Re: UKNM: CommerceNet?

[Nabil Shabka]

Does anyone actually think that a CommerceNet or IMRG button gives any punters

piece of mind?  99.99% of punters will know these guys less (if at all) than

the site where they're doing their purchasing.  Also, this thing about being

afraid to purchase over the net is a fallacy.  Every year sales are higher than

projections and according to a recent NUA survey, the youngsters don't really

think about it, or the brand funnily enough.
