Shopping online is convenient and usually safe — as long as you follow a few basic rules. Use this checklist before you buy from a store you haven't used before.
Before you buy
- The address bar shows https:// and the correct domain spelling.
- The store lists contact details, a privacy policy, terms and a return policy.
- Product descriptions are clear and don't promise miracles.
- The full price including shipping is shown before payment.
At checkout
- Use a credit card or PayPal for buyer protection.
- Only enter the information needed for the order.
- Never send passwords or one-time codes to a store.
After you buy
- Save your confirmation email and order number.
- Watch for phishing: real stores won't ask you to "confirm your card" by email.
- Use the tracking link to follow your delivery.
- Check your bank statement for the exact amount charged.
Following these steps protects you on any website — including the stores we feature.
