Welcome to the Safer Shopping Network! The Internet companies in this directory have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to safer online shopping by registering their web sites to be rated by their own customers for reliability and customer satisfaction. Because you can't see, touch or visit companies that do business online, Internet commerce requires different thinking about consumer protection and consumer trust. Traditional models based on static background checking, unenforceable codes of conduct, and slow complaint processing procedures are poorly suited to e-commerce. That's why ePublicEye.com pioneered a new model based on "real time reliability rating and review."

All ePublicEye.com registered merchants agree to be continuously monitored for reliability and customer satisfaction, independently rated and reviewed by their own customers, and to fully disclose their customer satisfaction record to consumers. We call it Open Customer Satisfaction Reporting (tm), and it's what ePublicEye.com registration is all about. Simply said, the ePublicEye.com Registered Safer Shopping Site (tm) seal means that the merchant displaying it is doing business in the open. It's a tough commitment that most Internet merchants won't make, but those who do, provide a safer shopping experience for consumers, and a real level of assurance you can trust.

ePublicEye's most "Professional members" give shoppers sound answers to frequently asked questions, through audio FAQ’s linked to their listing. ePublicEye webcasts interviews with owners and key company executives to help raise the comfort level of online shoppers. By listening, shoppers get a better sense of who is behind the web site, how knowledgeable they are about their products and services and how "customer friendly" the company is. Audio FAQ’s give shoppers inside information that is critical to the buying decision and is impossible to get from a "text only" site. Consequently, "Professional Member" listings appear at the top of all search results.
