Discover How To Buy Online Safe And Secure
People are skeptic
when it comes to paying online. That is a very good thing otherwise we become
victims to fraud.
There are both
dangerous places but on the other hand there are also secure and safe websites.
You will learn how to identify safe sites and dangerous sites so you purchase
only from safe sites.
Look out for these
three signs that are a must for a site to be safe.
When you are on the
order page the website url in the address bar should start with https:// and not http:// Also when the
address bar starts with https:// the address bar color changes
from white to yellow.
There should be an
icon at the bottom of the browser. It is a yellow lock bar.
Is the process of
buying easy and painless with no popups that deliver advertisements? It should
be that way. The order form should not have any popups that deliver
advertisements.
That is how to play
it safe. Now some extra tips you can also do after verifying they are safe:
If they have a Live
Chat Service contact them first so you verify they are real and honest.. Ask
them something about the product guarantee or support service just to see if
they reply.
If you are an eBay
member you should never use money transfers like Western
Union when paying at eBay. Instead use paypal or credit card.
Paying online is
safe when you understand the risks and avoid them. You must also make sure you
do not reveal your credit card numbers inside emails, instant messengers,
phone, live chat. The safe methods to pay online are:
Payment on a secure
website via credit card or online cheque.
Payment via paypal,
bank wire and cheque.
A word about
paypal:
Paypal allows you
to send or receive money from different countries world wide. There are several
others like Paypal but no all of them are safe and secure.
It is free to open
an account. There are other similar services (if you are not allowed in Paypal)
that are safe and work similar to Paypal.
A word about bank
wire:
A bank wire is a
very fast method to send money. It takes very little time for money to arrive
in destination. You contact your bank for a bank wire transfer to another bank
in a different country worldwide.
However make sure
you know to whom you are sending money. Not everyone is honest, so they can
quickly ran away with your money if you do not play safe. Know who you are
dealing with.
A word about cheque
Like bank wires,
play it safe.
Now you understood
how to pay online safety, how to understand if a site is secure or not and what
methods you need to use to pay for maximum security.
