Security tips for buying on-line

Check the bona fides of your supplier
Have they provided contact details? Do they have the goods and services to supply?

Look for "https" in any URL that asks for credit card details
Look at the site's address. Ordinary web pages begin with http, but secure sites start with https.

If you are viewing a page with frames, your browser may display the address for the home page, and not show the URL for the page that requires your sensitive information. Passing your cursor over the link to the credit card page should show you the address it would take you to at the bottom of your browser window. If you see https, the page that wants your money is on a secure server.

Look for the locked padlock icon Netscape usually shows an 'unlocked' or open padlock for ordinary pages, and a locked padlock for those that are secure. Look for this at the lower left of a secure page.
Internet Explorer usually shows a similar locked padlock at the lower right of the page for secure pages.

For the truly cautious
Check the site Security Certificates. You will probably need to (shock, horror) read your browser's help file to see how to do this. For the borderline paranoid, check that the site that wants your money encrypts your credit card data before it is permanently stored to foil hackers who might break into web sites and download lists of stored credit card numbers.

Consider alternatives
Credit card payments over the internet may not be the only way to go. While we use a gateway to the banking system to accept credit card payments (which means we never even see the card details you send), not all people like the idea of direct credit card remittances.

One alternative is PayPal. Try this: roll the cursor over the PayPal logo to see the secure server ID at the bottom of your browser (the https://), or click on the logo for more info.
