Internet shopping
Internet shopping offers many benefits to consumers. These include
opportunities to save time and money, greater choice, the convenience of
shopping when you like and having goods delivered, and a powerful
ability to find and compare information, products and prices.
Many people have been put off shopping online by media’s often
exaggerated reporting of the e-retail industry’s teething troubles. But
Internet shopping is now at least as safe as shopping in a store or by
phone, so there is no need for anyone to miss out on the benefits it can
provide.

Internet shopping is safe for consumers who use their common sense and
follow simple industry guidelines
Know who you’re dealing with: get the seller’s phone number and postal
address
Be aware of terms and conditions: check payment and delivery details
Keep records of what you order
EU Law protects you against fraudulent use of your payment card in EU
transactions: credit cards give you extra protection
Only give your payment card details over a secure connection, and never
by email: never disclose your PIN number to anyone, and never send it
over the internet
You usually have at least 7 days to cancel an order and request a
refund from an EU retailer
Check your payment card statement carefully: you have at least 90 days
to report a suspect transaction
SHOPPING TIP LIST
Here’s a list of tips you should consult when shopping online. Print
this page and keep it in a handy place so it will be easy to review
before you order.
Trust your instincts. If you don’t feel comfortable buying or bidding on
an item over the web, or if you feel pressured to place your order
immediately, maybe you shouldn’t.
Be knowledgeable about web-based auctions. Take special care to
familiarize yourself not only with the rules and policies of the auction
site itself but with the legal terms (warranties, refund policy, etc.)
of the seller’s items that you wish to bid on.
Double check pricing. Whether the product is being sold as new or used,
be suspicious of prices that are too good to be true. Also consider
carefully whether you may be paying too much for an item, particularly
if you’re bidding through an auction site. You may want to comparison
shop, online or offline, before you buy.
Find and read the privacy policy. Read the privacy policy carefully to
find out what information the seller is gathering from you, how the
information will be used, and how you can stop the process. If a site
does not have a privacy policy posted, you may not want to do business
with that site. If it does have a privacy policy, there will probably be
a link to it from the seller’s home page, or it could be included with
the HYPERLINK “http://www.safeshopping.org/terms/index.html” \t
“_parent” Legal Terms .
Review the return, refund, and shipping and handling policies as well as
the other legal terms. If you can’t find them, ask the seller through an
e-mail or telephone call to indicate where they are on the site or to
provide them to you in writing. See HYPERLINK
“http://www.safeshopping.org/terms/index.html” \t “_parent” Legal
Terms .
Check that the Internet connections are secure. Before you give your
payment information, there are various icons and software programs that
indicate that security software is in place. See HYPERLINK
“http://www.safeshopping.org/security/index.html” \t “_parent” Security
.
Use the safest way to pay on the Internet. Pay for your order using a
credit card. See HYPERLINK
“http://www.safeshopping.org/payment/index.html” \t “_parent” Payment.
Print the terms. You should print out and date a copy of terms,
conditions, warranties, item description, company information, even
confirming e-mails, and save them with your records of your purchase.
See HYPERLINK “http://www.safeshopping.org/payment/index.html” \t
“_parent” HYPERLINK “http://www.safeshopping.org/records/index.html”
\t “_parent” Recordkeeping .
Insure the safe delivery of your item. If you’re concerned about the
safety of your package if there’s no one home to receive it, ask whether
you can specify that the shipper must receive a signature before leaving
the package. Or, it may be safer to have the package delivered to your
office. See HYPERLINK “http://www.safeshopping.org/payment/index.html”
\t “_parent” HYPERLINK
“http://www.safeshopping.org/delivery/index.html” \t “_parent” Delivery
.
Inspect your purchase. Look at your purchase carefully as soon as you
receive it. Contact the seller as soon as possible if you discover a
problem with it. Tell the seller in writing about any problem that you
are concerned with, ask for a repair or refund, and keep a copy of your
correspondence. See HYPERLINK
“http://www.safeshopping.org/terms/index.html” \t “_parent” Legal Terms
