I do a lot of shopping online. It’s so much more convenient for me than driving to the mall. However, it’s also risky. You’re putting your credit card and bank information out there on the internet. With Buy Safe, you can protect yourself. Buy Safe provides financial and identity protection through its shopping advisor for more than 250,000 online merchants. The shopping advisor is a free browser plugin that offers a financial protection guarantee of up to $25,000 per purchase, and your identity is protected for 30 days. The browser plugin is free, so if you’re like me and do a lot of your shopping online, check it out. It never hurts to have more protection.

I do most of my shopping online too, so – I’ll go check out the plugin you recommend. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
This pug in gives pretty low rating even to some rather large and save traders–so I tend to not but much weight on it.
I don’t go shopping online but to those who likes doing that, safety should come first.. So I guess that plug-in should help..
I always use my credit card for online purchases because you can always get your money back in fraud situations. My credit card company also asks extra security questions when I am making a purchase, so I feel more secure. Great tips though as online fraud is on the increase!
I probably do 90% of my shopping online, and the best thing I ever did was designate one credit card to online purchases. That’s the only credit card that has ever had suspicious activity and it’s easy enough to cancel and not worry about the rest of my information being stolen.
daria – it’s free, so it couldn’t hurt!
vein – hmm…interesting. that’s something i’ll have to check out.
bhing – i don’t see how it would hurt!
mark – asking security questions is a great idea. i use my debit card when i shop online, and i don’t have that service.
corrin – that’s what i do. i only use my debit card when i shop online.
Txs for the tip! I just launched the estore section of my blog. So definitely gonna check this out.
I wish I knew about this on Black Friday when I did my online shopping!
