Shopping online can offer saving and convenience to both consumers and
businesses. However, it's important to understand your rights before you
complete any online shopping transactions, whether they be direct
purchases or participating in an online auction.
Do not provide your bank account, credit card number or other personal details unless you are positive the trader is reputable.
There are secure methods of making payments and holding payment or items in escrow. These methods protect consumers against fraud, unauthorised credit card transactions and will insure transactions up to $1000.
