You only have to deal with the secured website. Do not shop online using your credit card if the website is not the official website of the online store. To know the store if legitimate or not, there is a “verification” data at the browser URL of the website or you can see if its verified or secured at the footer of the website.

Do not purchase in different online store, if you are using PayPal and want to add funds in your PayPal account, that’s much better comparing to using your credit card directly. That means you are only dealing with PayPal only. It means you can purchase online using PayPal.

Tips: Set up your PayPal account, complete the verification data. Fund your account using your credit card and finally, buy products or pay for services using your PayPal account.

Another Online Tips: Use only a Debit Card – a debit card is a “free paid”, you can’t use it if there is no funds in your card. Have your Debit Card, Union Bank and PSBank is issuing a debit card, I have my experience with these cards when I am purchasing a domain name (InvestmentTotal.com) and when I am purchasing eBooks online.

I am very confident to disclose my information because I know the debit card won’t be use if there is no fund available or insufficient funds.
