Shopping convenience used to mean a 3 story mall with all your favorite stores in one place. Now the easiest shopping happens in your bedroom at 3am when the world is asleep. A few clicks can buy you golf clubs or a golf vacation. You can buy groceries from your laptop.
Unfortunately, for some people online shopping has proven too good to be true. Meaning, some e-shoppers have fallen prey to identity theft. With online shopping ignorance is not bliss- make sure you know your seller, where your information is sent and the reputability of the site.
Regarding the seller, check up on the merchant. Does the site offer contact information and other clues to their validity?
Find out what information the seller obtains from you. Do they sell your email address or phone number? You can find this information in the privacy and security policies which are usually found at the bottom of the page.
