Internet shopping is now a very safe and reliable way of buying goods.
When buying goods online it is always important to know that your payment transactions are secure.
When using either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator web browsers please look for the following below:

If you don't see any of the above when giving personal details i.e. credit card information, then contact the web site and ask the question regarding security.

The security lock logo above shows that you have entered a secure area (SSL = Secure Server) and also the https:// show that this is a secure page, normal web site pages only display http://.

Another good sign to lookout for is 'The Which Web Traders Association'.

Always if in doubt contact the shop either by telephone or email before disclosing any personal information.
