1. Know your Merchant: It's a good practice to be familiar with the name or reputation of any company you're dealing with. You can often find helpful information about online companies from Internet news sources, directories, and rating services.

maganda na assured ka sa papupuntahan ng pera mo, when you find it doubtful.. never giuve your money.. anu yun??? hindi ka charity or social welfare, at lalong hindi ka multi billionaire para mamigay lang ng pera.

2. Protect your privacy: Know what information the merchant is collecting about you, how it will be used, and if they share it with or sell it to others.

its always right na you keep you passwords and personal info to yourself. hidni yung ginagawa mo pang shout out sa facebook ang password mo or tinitext sa friend para lang may makakapag bukas ng farmville mo pag wala ka sa bhay at harvest time mo nah. tsk tsk.

3. Get the Details: Check for expected delivery dates, shipping and handling fees, warranties, return policies, and other important information. Look for an email address to write to (or a phone number to call) if you have a question, a problem, or if you need help.

sobrang importante nito. at least kung nagkaroon ka ng problema,,, may hahabulin ka.. hindi yung pag nawala at naloko ka.. hidni mo alam kung paano hahanapin yung salarin..

4. Use a Credit Card and Safeguard Your Password: It's a good practice to pay with credit cards, because under federal law (and your credit card agreement) your liability for an unauthorized charge is limited to $50

well, sa pilipinas... we have a lot of ways to trasact other than credit cards... payment by bank, GCASH, moneytransfer.. secured ways din naman yan ng pagbabayad sa online shops.

5. Keep Good Records: Make sure to print or save electronically any records related to your online transactions. This will help you keep track of shipping dates, shipping and handling fees, and other details of your transactions.

ebidensya in short. syempre pano kung ideny ka ng seller na hindi ka pa nagbabayad kaya hidni pinadala yung item mo?? at least you have a document proving your trasaction is valid di ba?

I hopethis helps a lot in your future online shopping spree.pero syempre there's nothing compared to the joy of going to a real shopping sa malls, lalo na when your with frends at love ones. naks... ang cHEeeeessssyy!!!! HHWW pa (holding hands while walking... naks!)
