Safe Online Shopping

I have always questioned myself by saying ” Is it safe to buy products online? ” owing to the exponential increase in identity theft and spy ware. I am little more skeptic than before to make purchases online.Then I came across buySAFE which promises to provide risk free shopping. They provide a Safe Shopping rating for all of the online stores. It also shows up in major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. There are more than 320,000 stores with ratings in these search engines. So,you can find out if the store is a trusted partner or not, instantly !

buySAFE also provides a Safe shopping portal. This means risk free shopping results from branded merchants. Items which are bought through this portal are offered with free protection of upto 25,000$.There is also a chance that your identity could be stolen while making online purchases. So, buySAFE even provides identity theft protection for 30 days.

All you need to start using buySAFE is to install the add-on. The adds-on is provided for Firefox and Internet Explorer in Microsoft Windows and Firefox in Mac. The installation instructions are pretty simple to follow and once installed, works like a charm.

Looks like I’ll start shopping online. Once again !!

buySafe and Be SAFE !!!

Online Shopping made easy

The internet has become a huge warehouse of information, and searching for specific information has become a herculean task. Although search engines have been trying to make our lives easier, there are certain categories of search where search engines don’t deliver. One such topic for search is “online shopping”. There are hundreds of thousands of shopping related websites on the internet from where you could get some of the best deals online, if only you knew how to search for these shops online. The easier way to keep track of online shops and their products is through a shopping community. It works the same way as in your offline life, you sit around the fireplace on a weekend and discuss shopping plans and the best offers available, with each of you pitching in with your share of information.

Shopping community members either use their forums or chat online to share best practices and tips. But the best way to voice out through a shopping community is through a wiki where users can post articles that can be edited by other users, instead of creating a whole new post for giving additional information about the same topic.

A few days back i decided to give a surprise gift to a friend of mine who is a video games freak and the best part is that i have no clue about video games whatsoever. It was then that i stumbled upon a shopping community discussing about video games through a wiki. They have a video game buying guide and a guide to buy each genre of game. Also there were guides to buying video games consoles like xbox360s and Sony PlayStations. The best part about this wiki is that for every product, be it video games or books, computers, jewelery, beverages or whatever, you have a clear buyer’s guide, list of available products and list of best online stores with price tags for each article.
