What security seals to use? Verisign, Thawte, etc.

So what security seals are cheapest and best to use on your website?
These seals need to be present so the customer feels safe to purchase from a site he/she has not purchased from before.

Verisign is very common. Another one is thawte. The least expensive, I am not sure.

[John14789]

The cheapest and know seal I've found is GeoTrust. Verisign is absurdly expensive. You don't use any seals on your online stores do you modee?

[Modee]

I don't need any because I use PayPal and GoogleCheckout via cartmanager, so they are essentially taken to their sites to pay, not mine.

[John14789]

GoogleCheckout requires you to have a SSL inorder for you to use them on your site.

[Modee]

No, not at all - if you implement cartmanager you simply place their buttons on your website. Similarly, you can just create Google payment buttons directly, same as with PayPal.

Ah, it depends on the shopping cart your using. Some some shopping carts Google require have the SSL.
