Buy from a reputable company - Unless it’s a big chain store, you should do some looking around the site.  There are a lot of individuals creating online businesses these days and while most are legitimate, there are a few things you can look for to ensure you a dealing with a reputable company.  Look around the site and see if they have a physical address and a working phone number.  You want to make sure that if there is a problem, you can contact a real person.  Also look for product descriptions without misspellings along with Better Business Bureau and other business icons.

Verify they have a Secure Checkout Page - If they do not have a secure checkout page, do not order from them.  Your personal information may not be safe during checkout.  There are a couple of things you can look for to make sure they have a secure checkout page: on the checkout page, there should be a yellow padlock icon in the lower right hand corner of the browser window and the website address, or url, should start off with “https,” not just “http.”  The “s” implies secure.
