How to Have a Safe Online Shopping Experience

With such a large transaction volume, it is only natural for consumers to be cautious about shopping online. So how do we go about safe online shopping?

Have a Safe Online Shopping Experience

Growth in online sales can be both a boon and a burden for online sellers. Boon, because they can enjoy benefiting from a bigger pie. Burden, because higher transaction volumes also mean a greater number of people indulging in scams and other questionable practices.

Is the Site Generous on Details?

You must be vigilant about how you shop online.

• For starters, make sure that the website is not skimping on details. A trustworthy website should not have any problems divulging details on product specifications, prices, shipping rates and delivery time.
• Easy availability of contact information—physical address, telephone number and electronic contact method—is another indication of sincerity. It is always reassuring to communicate with someone in person to answer questions or address concerns.

Security Assurances/Precautions

In most cases, mismanagement of your personal (and mostly valuable) information is more a result of negligence on the part of the seller than anything else. Responsible web merchants are quick to address potential vulnerabilities to ensure that you have a safe online shopping experience. Look for security assurance logos/icons on the website. Security certification services scan and assess websites to ensure that all web pages are protected from hackers:

Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
