Shopping online: rules to follow to protect purchases and make secure payments
Never before purchase of any item will be online, saving you the trouble of going to the mall.
Online purchases are also excellent for sending gifts to friends and family without the need to deliver them by hand, making sure that it will be received on time.
The only question surrounding the markets and online stores of E-commerce is the guarantee that an object will be intact when you get home, that your payment details are not seen and stolen by third parties and that the shipment is timely, without delays and secure.
It is estimated that between 50% and 70% of online shoppers abandon their online stores without buying.
Many users who prefer to browse the products and read reviews then go looking for them in real stores because they do not trust the security online.
Although I can not take responsibility, I would ensure the safety of shopping online if you follow these few basic rules that give an almost absolute certainty that your purchase is satisfied, as if you were using the cash to stall.
1) The first important rule to follow is to always pay, or nearly so, with Paypal.
Sites like Ebay, Etsy and many others accept payments through PayPal, which has a huge advantage in the management of online payments.
Paypal fact you do not need to share any number of credit card or other banking information, you pay only stating your email address.
Subscribe to Paypal is easy and free, you just have to have a credit card to register once and for all on the website.
If you just want to be safe, you can safely use a PostePay require a credit card or Paypal rechargeable.
Paypal also has a right to protection and guarantee that, if a product arrives home frayed or broken or if you do not get your own, you can ask for refund.
Paypal is owned by Ebay and ensures each payment in the most widely used online store new and used merchandise in the world.
Paypal is the only online payment service, there are also other as safe as, for example, Google Wallet, Amazon and those of other credit cards.
If you do not use Paypal is it not convenient to use prepaid credit cards because there is no refund.
Using a plain paper instead you can always ask the finance company or bank to stop payment.
2) On many websites that sell products online symbol appears written TRUSTe.
It is a guarantee that certifies absolute privacy for customers and ensures safe navigation.
3) Even if it were not for the TRUSTe trustmark, a site remains secure if the connection is encrypted and the site has a security certificate https.
To check this just look at the Internet address of the page where you make the payment, and make sure there is "https" or a lock icon at the end of the address bar.
If you want to be more confident, you can install the browser extension best of this type, WOT, which shows the view, in real time, about a website, not only from the point of view of safety.
It should not be wary of online stores in English because almost everyone sells in Italy with very low rates of shipment.
4) If you are not satisfied with the purchased item, you should be able to return, but it is said.
The important thing is to look at the site of e-commerce, the terms of repayment of the seller.
As stated above, even if the seller did not provide refunds or exchanges of goods, PayPal offers purchase protection.
5) Only buy from popular online stores.
This is a rule that you can also waived depending on personal experience, but if you want to be absolutely sure, you should do a little research on the internet and see if the top results of Google appear protests or complaints from other customers about a Some seller.
If the store is famous as Amazon, Etsy or Ebay seller with a feedback close to 100%, you can be absolutely sure.
The problem with the less famous shops concerning confidentiality of information that can be acquired by other companies if the store is sold.
6) Finding the lowest price
A site like Google Shopping collects the most important online sellers of products.
If you find a much lower price from a store semi-unknown, maybe you should be wary.
7) Never pay by clicking a link in an e-mail so any e-mail that asks payments or verification of accounts, is an attempt to scam.
