The risk is actually quite minimal, and certainly no more risky than using your card in other places!\n\nThere are ways that your card details can be got and used without your consent online, just as there are whenever you use your card in a shop.\n\nMake sure you use common sense though! Basic precautions would include making sure that the company you are giving your card details to are reputable and that the details are being transmitted over a secure connection - look for the little padlock at the bottom of your browser screen to indicate that it is.\n\nBest of all, check with your credit card provider the protection they give you against fraudulent use of your card. You should be surprised and reassured to know that you are completely covered, and if you are not it is time to switch your provider!\n\nSo in other words, with a little bit of common sense you can be very confident to shop online, despite the scare stories that you read.

Avoid this one like the plague as well.  It's a racket, it isn't a real credit card at all.  They only thing you can buy is overpriced junk from their catalog.  For that dubious privileged they charge you for the "card" and charge you a monthly fee.\n\nSave your money.  It isn't going to help your credit in the slightest.\n\nAnd yes, you will have to pay a shipping fee as well for items you purchase.

I've shopped online for years now and yes, I do feel safe using my credit card.  I also bank online, so I'm pretty comfortable...I haven't been burned...yet.\n\nMy favorite sites to shop are amazon.com, gap.com, ebay.com

Yes, you can. If there's still a balance on the gift card, you can use it just like a credit card.

good answer panzerleader!\n\nI would like to add, make sure you have either a purchase confirmation number given to you at the time of purchase, credit card or bank statement you can provide as evidence of purchase.

You have to remember. All info on any computer is at some risk, but banks go to great lengths to protect their/your data. I've been paying bills online since '99. No fraud yet. Just keep an eye on your accounts daily. If anything seems weird, call your bank-they will handle it.

Also if you are concerned.  Get a credit card that is strictly for internet use. Make it a low credit line one.  so tha if it does fall into the wrong hands they can't do too much damage. \n\nI do this.  my credit card for online things is only a $500 credit line.  \n\nWhen you give this info it lets the company that you are signing up with check you out.  it will make everyone more sure as to if you are on the "up and up"  \n\nIf you are a person of your word and honest - there shouldn't be any reason not to sign up and sell.  but if a person is planning to take the money and run they may not want to give all that info.  I think that this is the main reason for haveing to give the info.. cause if you  or anyone decides to scam - the company will have some recourse.

Its a piece of mind.  Don't spend what you don't have; avoid using credit cards.

Sure you can.  Go ahead and continue through the payment process.  As long as you don't commit the transaction, it won't be posted.  If you run into issues, just contact customer care and they will be glad to take your info.

If you are comfortable with internet then go to pricewatch.com and you can buy at a bargain price. Use your credit card because if there is anything wrong you can always stop payment without any charge.\n\nIf you are not comfortable with internet then you have to shop around for a bargain. Like Comp USA, Kmart, Walmart etc.

A debit card can be used like a credit card if you have one.  Have you tried shopping on EBAY?  Most people on there let you use money orders or personal checks.  And believe me, you can find anything for sale!  New as well as used.
