Louie’s Dream Notebook

My friend Louie kept asking me for a favor to pay for the notebook that he wants to purchase online, because he saw that one of his favorite brands and online shop is having a super sale, and he don’t want to miss the chance to get the notebook of his dream for less the riginal cost. Actually,  fifty percent off the  selling price her in our place.

Minus the free promised free shipping, it would cost him only forty grands, but if he were to purchase it in local stores, it would cost him as much as seventy-six grands. Yeah, that’s how expensive Louie’s dream notebook is. Oh well, he has the money to buy it, plus it has great specs, so I can’t really blame a techie-gadget-freak friend for drooling over his dream item that’s being sold for a very low price.The only problem is that he doesn’t own a credit card. He already applied for one,  but it will take awhile, and the sale period would probably end before he gets it. Louie has a debit card connected to his account with a  lot of funds, but he is scared to use it for purchasing.  I told him that there are many secure payment solutions to choose from nowadays, so there is really nothing to worry about.

He had no experience in buying anything online in the past, he had no idea how it works. But being an online netizen, almost everything I do is related to the internet, that is why I already have accounts.

I told him that he can now use virtual credit cards for purchasing items, and other payment solutions when it comes to using different payment methods for purchasing anything on the internet, or receiving money from friends, families, or payment from any merchant whom you have worked with, or sold your items to. This makes all transactions faster and more convenient.

For now, I will have to shoulder the expense and he will be paying me back in cash. But he will be applying for his own account, and hopefully next time, he can do it on his own.
