Answer 1

its very safe from amazon.

Answer 2

it can be but i use amazon all the time its safe there (i use paypal so i know its safer when im ordering from smaller sights)

Answer 3

I've probably done it thousands of times at this point and never had a problem anywhere.

Answer 4

Not really.  Something could happen though.  Car crashes are dangerous but will it likely happen?  Not really.

The best thing about credit cards is the company is willing to look into any fraudulent activities because it is their money that was taken.

Answer 5

give it to me and find out

Answer 6

I've ordered form Amazon.ca before (which isl ike the same thing) and I have never had any problems with giving a credit card # before.

Answer 7

Using your credit card through Amazon is perfectly safe.  It goes through a secured site for payment.  It'll say http: for the website instead of http; there's also a padlock at the bottom right corner of your browser window to indicate it's secure.

Answer 8

amazon is perfectly safe

Answer 9

You will be protected by your C.C. company should foul spending occur.

Just look up in the address and make sure that it is secured.

You can tell because it will say https instead of just http.

If it is https you are golden.

Go get that book!

Answer 10

safe i have ordered from them

Answer 11

As long as you are giving it to an established business like Amazon you're fine.  I've been buying stuff online for years and never had any problems.  

PS Signing up for Paypal is a good idea so that way you don't have to give your credit card number out to multiple sites.  You just give it to them and then they set up payment for you.  It's really handy!

Answer 12

Amazon.com should be safe but the answer is yes, it's dangerous you give your credit card number to people online.  It only takes about 24 hours for your information to be sold in the black market along with others.  And soon enough it will be locked as it's been used in several different countries.

Answer 13

it depends on the website. Amazon.com is totally safe though.
