Shopping Online - Security Tips

Shopping online has become a part of everyday life but many still worry that their credit card or bank details will land in the wrong hands or that the goods bought on the internet may not be all they seem.  Follow these tips to help keep your online shopping a safe and secure experience.

Check out the company's validity
  • Research the company on line and look at the website’s feedback function, always see what other customers have said about their recent transactions with the company.
  • Look for their contact details and give them a ring.  Reputable companies will always display their contact details and welcome customer contact.  Just because the web address has ‘UK’ in it don’t assume an internet company is based in the UK.
  • Spelling mistakes and bad grammar can be an indication that the company may not be legitimate or may have been developed abroad. Although shopping from overseas websites is not necessarily unsafe it may be difficult to enforce your contract if things go wrong.
  • Be careful when buying items from people with little or no selling history. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS, if you are unsure, consider shopping elsewhere.

Paying for goods
  • Paying by credit card or PayPal will give you added protection.
  • Try to avoid paying by bank transfers – they are not secure.
  • Don’t send confidential personal or financial information by email.

Other things you should consider before buying
  • What are the postage and packaging costs?
  • Check the delivery times – try and be there when your goods are delivered.
  • Is billing up front or on delivery?
  • Can you track the item in the delivery process?
  • Is there a warranty or guarantee for defects?
  • What is their cancellation or return policy and who will pay these costs?
  • Is there a cooling off period?

Scams
  • Be wary of opening unsolicited emails or links within emails if you don’t know the sender. Many of these emails may ask you to make contact or send your details for verification. If any promise made sounds too good to be true then in reality it probably is.
  • If you bid for an item unsuccessfully, don’t be tempted to trade off site if another seller makes contact with a similar items
