If it is a reputable merchant, or an auction service such as EBAY where there is an easy matter of recourse, I have no problem purchasing online. Buying from a private individual who I have never met, that's probably another matter. Most credit card issuing banks also provide some degree of fraud protection. I use an online based debit card for my web purchases, so the charges are easy to track in real time, and I can't be charged more that I deposited in the account.

I buy alot but usually from established E-tail dealers (mostly catalog sales that have gone internet). Once in a while I'll buy something from an unknown person (usually Ebay) and so far things have worked out nicely.

eBay - read carefully
Never been defrauded but been scammed. Bought one of those $5 Chinese grinders with $15 shipping & handling fees. Arrived broken. Seller happy to send me a new one if I pay S&H fees both ways putting me out of pocket $65 for an item worth $25 if it worked. His replacement policy was right there on eBay so I can't say I was defrauded. I learned my lesson and read things realllll carefully now.

I had a guy ship me 4 angle grinders, should have been 4 angle grinder kits. He told me to keep the 4 he had already shipped and he would send out the correct items. He did. Now I have 8 grinders that I can burn up and toss around.Bob Sigmon
