Sites that let you buy without having to set up an account are more friendly

2

Yep. But usually those sites don't offer reliable support ... And that makes them less friendly :)

Thanks Marc!

I agree that customer's satisfaction should be top priority. From my experiences, sellers are not or not able to 100% transparent on the promotion page e.g. return policy, shipping costs, payment methods etc.
Great stats Zed.
Thanks for sharing.
