By Gabe McGuire


Shopping online offers consumers a great selection, a great price and unparalleled convenience. If you don't know what you're up against, you can quickly become a victim. Keep reading for tips to help you become an online shopping expert.

Always check for coupon codes before you make a purchase online. Many stores provide discounts for everything from shipping to a percentage off your order, and these can be found with a simple Google search. Simply type the store's name followed by "coupon" and you can often find great discounts. This strategy can help you save a lot of money.

You should never, ever give out your personal social security number while shopping online. No shopping websites should ever ask for this extremely personal piece of information. If they are being asked during your transaction, then red flags should waving at you for attention. Go to a website that doesn't ask for private information.

Many online stores start sales as soon as Wednesday, so keep an eye out. A lot of physical stores start their sales on Saturday or Sunday, and to stay competitive, online stores start their sales earlier. You can do just a bit of research and get great tips in the middle of the week.

If you shop online frequently, be sure that your computer's anti-malware is always running and updated. Hackers often target major shopping sites in an attempt to steal personal information or to break into your accounts. Heed warnings from security software about some sites and reports of suspicious activity from a site's webmaster.

Don't enter credit card info or any other sensitive information into an unsecured website. Check the URL in the address bar to verify security. Only if it begins with HTTPS should you enter your data. If it doesn't contain that part, you are putting yourself at risk for fraud.

If you are new to online shopping, find a retailer that offers Live Help. These options assist you with getting questions and issues solved much quicker than phone calls and emails. They may even offer you steeper discounts and faster shipping. If you order the same day, you may get these discounts.

As you may know now, you can enjoy shopping online and find it addicting. With just a simple click, you have all the products in the world at your fingertips. Once you figure out what goes into shopping on the Internet, you'll be pleased when you save a lot of money and time.
