Do you check whether the site of online shopping is secure?

Usually I try and avoid giving credit card information. I will try to do online shopping at sites, where they allow for Pay on delivery option, where I can pay them when they deliver me the product. In cases, where I dont have any other option, i will try to use Paypal if available. Even if that is not available, then I will crosscheck as you do, the security of the site, where it uses SSL, and any signed such as Versign, Thawte etc...

I have shopped almost exclusively online for about 3 years now. Knock on wood, I have had no problem. As you stated, I too, look for the verisign and SSL encryption. I live in a small town that has nothing but a wal-mart. It is either drive 3 and a half hours (yeah, with these gas prices?!) or shop online!

Yes I do check that is very important to check always look for the logo. if tey don't have a logo it is not legit. it has to say secured site. or something of that nature. Verified.

If I need to give credit card information, it means I am bend on getting something, and I will get things only from trusted sites. Hence, I do verify the site and make sure the URL is a secured site and there are SSL certificates. It pays to be cautious.

Yes i did the same thing as you,i will definately check the SSL before i make my payment.Fortunately so far i havent encountered any fraud shopping site at this time.

yes i do! if the page is not an SSL encrypted page, i won't feel comfortable at all to proceed with online shopping at that website. so far, thank God i haven't fave any online fraud yet.. :)
