Description of the product - Make sure that the items you are buying have been clearly described and suits your needs. 3. Cost and currency - you have to know the final cost of the product specially of the charge they will going to charge your credit card. That mean, including the delivery and the handling costs. 4. Confirm your order if it is correct. 5. Privacy - you have to check the website privacy policy on how they deal with personal information 6. Payment mechanism - You have to know the security of any online payment by credit card that they provide. Check if they use secure sockets layer (SSL). The site should tell you that you are entering a secure online environment before you start to provide your credit card details. 7. Beware of internet scams! Try browsing a couple of sites that gives information about online shopping & auction scams, domain name renewal scams, spam offers, and free offers in the internet. Also, watch out for modem jacking, spyware and keyloggers. :D
