Course overview
Course description
We will be looking at a number of factors associated with buying and selling online. This course focuses on ways you can keep your personal information safe when shopping online and we will work together to identify how some online scams work and what to do to avoid falling victim to them. We also look at how to sell your own items online, including discussion of recent changes to the law around taxation. You will work with your fellow learners to write a description for an item to sell and discuss what you need to consider when photographing the item. We will look at a few common marketing techniques. Some basic maths will be covered relevant to buying and selling online giving you the opportunity to refresh or develop your skills in this area in a safe, supportive environment and helping you to determine if something you see advertised online is a genuine bargain.
