Using a credit card is one of the most convenient ways to buy, but is not without it's risks. Any time you use a credit card, in any situation, there's always the chance that someone will take your details and use them without your permission. It doesn't happen very often, but there's always the possibility. The same applies to mail order, or ordering by phone. In fact, ordering online is generally accepted as one of the safest methods of shopping. The benefits of shopping this way are convenience and price, but how can you be sure of your security?

When buying online, always make sure that the site you are buying from uses a secure server. Depending on how your computer is configured, a message may pop up to let you know that you are about to enter a secure area. If this doesn't happen, watch for a padlock icon on the taskbar of your browser - this indicates that you are indeed on a secure server. Secure servers use key cryptography to encrypt your message so that anyone who intercepts the message can't read it - all they will see is a garbled message.

At the Car Store online shop, we use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to ensure that your details are kept safe from prying eyes. All sensitive data on the server is encrypted using RC4 Stream Encryption, and is deleted from the server soon after it has been listed. And if you're still uncomfortable giving credit card details over the internet, you can order by phone, or send a cheque so you don't have to worry about security.
