Researching an Unknown Online Retailer
The Consumerist has a how to on researching an unknown online retailer. They provide a good set of questions to ask about a vendor, as well as some online tools for verifying information about the vendor before you starting clicking away and enter your credit card number.
Some of the questions include:
- Do they take credit cards? It is no guarantee of quality if they do, but it is one step up. I think you should generally avoid any place that only takes Western Union money transfers.
- Do they have a security/hacker prevention or testing certificate?
- Does the checkout process use an encrypted HTTPS page?
