So many web sites sell "stuff" these days that you will be
hard pushed not being able to find exactly what you are looking for online.
With this in mind we thought we'd briefly give you some hints and tips to
buying online.
The majority of transactions take via the web occur when the buyer
gives his or her credit card details to the seller. Thus security is a major
issue.
The obvious question then must be "Can anyone else access my details?".
The answer should be no. Secure sites receive your details in the form of
an encrypted message - which only their system can decipher.
Here it's important that you do your research. Has the company been online
before? How many customers do they have? What if I make an incorrect purchase
/ it turns up broken?
All these questions should be answered on the site. If they area not give
the company a ring. No number. Oops, you may think of walking away and looking
somewhere else.
