`
`Anyone can set up shop and become an entrepreneur on the Internet. Just
`register to become a First Virtual Seller.
`
`The Internet is all about freedom and equal access. When First Virtual first
`went live in October 1994, this was the idea that inspired our founders to
`provide everyone the opportunity to become an entrepreneur on the
`Internet. Today, First Virtual has designed two distinct seller programs,
`each tailored to meet Seller's needs.

`Payment (Credit Card) Authorizations
`
`A New Feature for All Sellers
`
`With our new Payment Authorization feature, First Virtual Sellers can be
`confident that the Buyer's credit card is valid prior to shipping hard goods
`or delivering information products. Our Sellers have the option to receive
`via email a credit card authorization indicating the validity of the Buyer's
`credit card, thus reducing the likelihood of chargebacks.
`
`For added security, First Virtual attaches a digital signature to each credit
`card authorization so Sellers can verify that the email message came from
`First Virtual.
