ABA Launches E-Commerce Assistance Site

August 13, 2007 | 11:29 AM

Electronic commerce entrepreneurs, rejoice. The American Bar Association is looking out for you. Over the weekend, the group launched www.SafeSelling.org, a free resource for individuals and small businesses interested in starting Web enterprises or venturing into online sales.

The Web site, which debuted at the ABA's annual meeting in San Francisco, is organized around frequently asked questions that arise during the creation, launch and operation of an online business.

"We wanted the site to be intuitive for the typical small business owner," said Jonathan Rubens, editorial director of SafeSelling.org. "From obtaining a domain name to protecting customer privacy, our SafeSelling.org site offers a complete range of logically listed mini-topics to help our target audience find the facts they need."

Other topics on the site include payment processing, delivery and fulfillment, selling out-of-state or internationally, advertising and marketing, and customer authentication and security, the ABA said in a press release.

SafeSelling.org is a companion site to Safeshopping.org, which provides information about purchasing items safely on the Internet. The ABA had a jam-packed agenda at this year's conference. Read more coverage in Technology Daily's PM Edition.
