I am afraid of buying things over the Internet, how can I make myself understand that it is safe?

Question

I am afraid of places like eBay, because I am afraid that someone might steal my information, like credit card info, identity. How can I make myself understand that it is safe and I should buy something over the internet? My son wants this WindowBlinds thing that is like $20, but I am afraid of buying it over the Internet. What should I do? What advice do you have for me?

Answer 1

get your head out your ***

Answer 2

You're like my mom, haha. I just tell her about all the gurantees that the sites make about protecting her info and but if there's something she really wants over the internet she can buy it then delete her account, or call the bank and make sure they don't take out anymore then they're supposed to.

Answer 3

Buying stuff over the internet is usually perfectly safe. eBay can't steal your info, it's probably the most popular aution site in the world. If your really scared, just purchase off very well known websites such as ebay, amazon, etc.

Also, if your really afraid of getting your credit card info stolen, use Paypal, because it does not reveal your credit card info to the website. Windows Blinds is a very well known software and, as long as you buy it from the official website ( http://www.stardock.com/products/windowb... )

Don't be afraid of using the internet, because soon, everything will be bought from there.

Answer 4

Alright so u just need to be convinced that its completely safe to buy something online? Well to tell u the truth, its not. But almost all exchange/buy/sell sites like ebay have fraud protection which allows u to be refunded:) so there! Plus on ebay check the sellers/buyers' stars and how many they sold. Its usually avaiable if u click on their username. The more good rating and smooth transactions, the less chances of fraud. Also, Paypal hides your actual bank account so there are less chances of fraud. So its safer to use paypal to buy/sell online as ur private info cannot be easily obtained.

:) Hope I helped! :)
