BBB Offers Tips to Stay Safe When Shopping Online

(Undated) – Shopping online can be a breeze, whether for everyday items or the perfect gift. As we move into the “holiday shopping season,” the Better Business Bureau is offering a few tips to stay safe while shopping online. They say to always use a secure internet connection when making a purchase. Remember to shop on sites that take secure payment methods. When on marketplaces like eBay, check the seller’s reputation. Try not to do any online shopping when you’re using a public computer or public Wi-Fi. Although you can’t beat the convenience of getting what you need at the click of a button, the BBB says all too often, you may find that what you ordered is not what you get.
