When shopping online I usually go to amazon and wa-lmart.
I have previously shopped on ebay and never had any problems but amazon is just so much better to me..When thinking about it though your really running the same risks.
Somethings Ill be shopping around for are not in stock in the online stores in which I normally use but there will be random stores Ive never heard of online that have then and its sooo tempting but I am too fearful of my information getting into the wrongs hands or paying for something and never receiving it.
Do you only shop online at specific stores? do you order from the random websites that pop up and do you even shop online at all??

Most of the time I will buy from the official online stores such as Amazon. It is reliable and I am quite satisfied with its service. If I need to buy from an individual, then I will check the customer comments since it will give me an idea about the products I am going to buy. And I can judge the sellers according to it.
I love China

I stick to reputable sites. Like J C Penney, Walmart, Target, etc. Places that I know. The others I don't pay directly from my credit card or debit card. I go through pay pal where my money is kind of guaranteed.

There are so many familiar sites for you to choose,It is one of the best way to choose those sites for secure online shopping.And then as far as security is concerned you should check for secure connection of the site.For example the website address should start with https.It is for secure sign.Like that there are so many things to be concerned.So if you have any doubt regarding some sites you can check some things to follow and then proceed shopping.All the best

Online I order from Amazon. They have secure checkout. They even confirm shipment times and send a copy of receipt to your e-mail address. So far so good with them. There prices are great. I bought set of Color pencils 24 Inktense by Derwkiwin and cost me less than AC Moore even if I used there 50 percent of coupon. Plus I save on gas and using my car. It was expected by end of May 4th and I got this item this past weekend on April 15th. I used normal shipping method! I also bought books there too for cheaper than Border Books or Waldenbooks.
Thanks Unique16

Well, I usually try to use gift cards if they have them available for online, or I check with others who have used the site to make sure that the website is reputable. Always make sure that you know the site and make sure that it is legit.

I prefer shopping on a secure site.A secure or encrypted website address will begin with HTTPS rather than HTTP,and you will see a lock icon in the Address bar.

Ebay is one of the trusted online shops, and its easy to see reviews of the sellers. In our place, there are more and more online shops opening and most of those offer clothes from Bangkok and Korea. They use Facebook page for their shops. I always look at the comments of their customers before purchasing.

i usually buy from those sites which my friends have already tried and tested. i dont buy immediately to those sites which pop up randomly. it might be a scam or something so its better if you'd go those websites that your friends have tried so you will be able to know if you can trust it as well.
