1. Shop at Secure Websites: look for https://. in the address bar and a closed padlock in the bottom of your screen.
2. Reasearch the Website before you order. If you are unfamiliar with the website, check them out with the Better Business Bureau.
3. Get all the details, look for not only their contact information, check out shipping charges, cancellation fees and return policies before you place your order.
4. Pay safely. The safest way to pay is to use your credit card. Most credit card companies make it easy to dispute a charge (but check out your card's policy before using it online).
5. Don't enter personal information in a pop up. Make sure that you are filling your information out on the website not for another company.
6. Save your order confirmation. Print it out and make sure that it matches what you receive and are charged.
7. Review your credit card statements, make sure you are charged the correct amounts.
8. Contact the seller with any problems with your order.
These tips and more can be found on the BBB's website.
