Learn Why Shopping Online With a Credit Card Can Be Safe
When you go to an online store and submit an order form with a credit card number, the information is transmitted from your computer via local telephone lines to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and then over the Internet. The order may go to an intermediary or directly to the merchant's server. Companies vary as to when they process your credit card details.
Risks are no greater than conventional methods of ordering. Remember that risks on the Internet are the same as in mail order. If you feel confident to buy by phone, fax or mail, you should be confident to buy on the Internet. In fact your rights are the same whether shopping on the Net or in the high street. They are covered by the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and the Trade Descriptions Act 1976. If you receive faulty goods you have the right to a full refund. The only exception is when buying from abroad.
