Do You Trust Buying Online?

October 20, 2011 7:24pm CST
With Christmas coming, i need to buy for 5 grandchildren, and a few other relatives. Does anyone know of a good trusted website where they may sell inexpensive gifts? Can you trust the website with your credit card? Delivery?

I buy from Amazon, Walmart and eBay and it works for me and I've never had a problem buying online.

I trust buying online from large websites which I have used in the past, however I would have to think twice about whether I would buy things from a website that I have never used before. I wouldn't want to risk losing a large amount of money by using a website which isn't well known; even though I know fully that there is every chance that it would be perfectly alright and genuine. I do still prefer to spend my money in stores that I know are reliable, and that I have used in the past, as it is a lot safer and you know that your products will reach you.

I trust major companies such as Sears, Wal Mart, Aeropostale, companies like that. Ones that are well known sit easier with me. I would not trust Ebay for Christmas shopping, because sometimes things can arrive late and get mixed up. I suppose that could happen with major companies as well, but I've had it happen more with Ebay. So if I were you, I would choose major chain companies that sell the things you are looking for, and order from them. I have bought a few things off Ebay where they didn't give me the tracking number...Usually they do, but a few select times they didn't...And when it comes to Christmas shopping, that's something you need in order to ensure that everything arrives on time. That being said, I'd go with the major companies around your area that you trust!

I use walmart and was good, they even game money back because I bought the item online but when I got there to pick up my item it was on sale so they gave me money back.

All the major well known sites are safe like amazon and ebay, and of course the big name stores. If you come across a site that is selling something you want to buy do a search on that store and look for any type of feedback and reviews, doing a search like store name reviews, store name customers, store name purchases etc. If you find yourself feeling iffy about purchasing from the store and can't find any feedback then best to not make the purchase from them

I bought only one time online with credit card and paypal , and everything was ok , I will trust paypal. I think first You have to trust the company You are using to pay. Also the product I ve got at that time was in good condition, and was exactly what I wanted . I would trust again. Oh I forgot to tell You , my friend bought airplane tickets online with credit card , and everything went fine for them.

If you plan to buy online search first the reputation of the seller and find if the seller has an history of negative transaction. If the seller doesn't have any negative comment then you are way to go to shop for it. I usually buy at sulit.com.ph
