It might end up being cheaper to buy the product at a local shop.
Protect your privacy:Only buy online if you are comfortable with a business‟s privacy policy. Do not give out information unless they require it to complete the sale. Remember, if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Keeprecords: Always write down any reference numbers and print out copies of:
the order form (both before and after you confirm the order)
receipts (can come by email or in a pop-up window).
Always make sure all charges are correct by checking the receipt against your:
credit card statement
merchant account statement (such as PayPal)
bank statement.
The charges may be converted from another currency.
Online auction sites:Most online auction sites (like eBay) offer a dispute resolution process for buyers and sellers. This should be your first step to resolve a dispute if:
you did not receive the items you bought
you did not receive payment for items you sold
you received items that were significantly different from their description. The eBay website has an example of this facility.
