I do it as little as possible. I do have PAYPAL but don't like to use that either. I usually do buisness over the phone with credit card orders. I don't like using credit cards over the net.

I established a rule for myself earlier this year. If I CAN'T CALL & talk to a person to place the order I find another source where I can. REMEMBER, if you have a problem with an order and you are stuck to email only, it will always take longer to resolve the issue. Paypal is sort of a gamble these days. I use Mastercard only for payments and if there is a problem I turn it over to them.

Most retail that you deal with over the internet have secure sites. You can tell if they are by looking at the web address.......it should start with https , the "s" standing for secure ! If the addy starts with http only be cautious !

What are you looking for? I've had good luck with a lot of vendors, but if you are looking for suspension parts I don't want to send you to where I buy guages. ;)

I buy as much as I possibly can online and have never been screwed anywhere. More than half of my income is spent through American Express; my goal in life is to be invited to have a black card. :lol:
