TIPS User Created List

Tags: Shop, Help, Gift, Holiday, Online, Internet, Stores, Safe, Credit

The Electronic Retailing Association encourages savvy shoppers to follow these simple tips when shopping (on the Internet, live shopping, long- and short-form commercials and radio).

1. Before entering personal information, be sure the padlock at the top or bottom of your browser is closed and locked.
2. Also make sure "https:" begins the webpage address.
3. Look for third-party verification devices, such as the Better Business Bureau logo.
4. Check for contact information and be cautious of sites that don't offer a phone number.
5. Ensure the website accepts more than one type of credit card, and gives an alternative to credit card payment.
6. Provide your card number each time you make a purchase.
7. Designate one credit card for online shopping, as this will allow an easy review of purchases.
8. Be extremely careful in responding to e-mails from anyone who asks for your password(s), Social Security number, birthdate, credit card number or other personal information.
9. When shopping for a particular product, make sure to compare prices and availability on numerous and varying sites.
10. As with all transactions, take the time to read the fine print and know your rights as a consumer.
