So how safe is it to shop online ?
The most popular choices are:
* Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex)
* Paypal (Bank Account or Credit Card)
* Direct Deposit to Sellers Bank Account
* Cheque or Money Order in the Mail
If you decide to pay by credit card make sure the payment page is secure. The address of that page should start with 'https'. Notice there is an 's' after the usual http. The 's' signifies your details will be encrypted so the receiver must have the 'key' to decipher the credit card details which makes it very difficult for a criminal to steal the details of your credit card.
Paypal has become a very popular method of payment as it is secure and some protection is generally offered to the buyer. You can pay by bank transfer or credit card using Paypal.
Buying supermarket items from Woolworths and Coles online can become a great timesaver. No need to Park your car. Walk through the aisles then queue at checkout when you can order your usual groceries online and have them delivered at a time to suit you.
Another attraction is the fact that many of the products you buy online are cheaper than you would pay at a retail outlet and without the hassles.
Purchasing online is gaining popularity because it enables anybody with an internet connection to order a product any time of the day or night and compare prices with other suppliers. The goods can be ordered and have them sent direct to your address with the minimum of fuss. Most orders are received within two to five working days (stock permitting)
