Online purchases have grown dramatically over the past decade. Whether you are looking for auto parts, books or even clothing, you can buy them online. While many people want to see and touch the items they are buying, more and more feel safe about purchasing their goods over the internet.
There are security risks, but if you follow the tips below you can have more confidence in your online shopping experience.
- Make sure your information is being entered on a secure site.
- Look for the latest credit card password procedures
- Know who you are buying from. Use stores you are familiar with or people you know have dealt with.
- Beware of refurbished items, often a detail buried in small print.
- Check the store’s return policies before you buy.
- Use a separate credit card for online shopping, preferably one with a low limit in case the number gets stolen.
- If the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
- Online deals can seem great, but what do you do if something goes wrong with the product? Check out local retailers too as they can often provide faster service than the online merchants.
I went shopping on the internet for the first time this year. It was very easy and the parcels were delivered quickly. I'm sure I will do even more next year.
ReplyDeleteI use Paypal so that the company I'm buying from doesn't get my credit card number.
