is it safe to shop online?

it is if you buy from trusted sellers...you just have to be very careful in choosing who to deal with

its either... safe or unsafe.. kaya dapat po mag-ingat... alamin po ang mga modus operandi ng mga scammers...

You have to make sure you can see their feedback or proof that their business really exist.
O kaya wag pay if gcash lang method of payment.  They should have at least a couple of bank accounts under their name.  Kasi diba they need 2 valid ids to open an account?

ok yung point mo marief2rnurse about having a bank account because of the IDs needed.

pero na-scam na rin ako kahit maraming feedback. =(

its mixed actually pero mas marami ang scammers online and ang daming honest seller na nasisisra dahil sa mga scammer na yan. Tip lang if you want to have a safe and secure online shopping experience is to use if convenient sayo ang meetup with the seller, fine pero kung malayo tapos mode of payment niya is bank deposit-ship ng items. be cautious kasi yan ang madalas na modus. if malayo at hindi convenient, use Gcash Click instead, its a safe mode of payment na less hassle. kasi there is an escrow system plus efficienct delivery of the item from the house of the seller to the house of the buyer. itong mode of payment na ito ay sobrang ok kasi may tracking system at so far, no complaints ako sa service na ito. i already used this in most of my buying activities especially mga item na binibili ko is pang collection-vintage toys specifically at most of the sellers na nakikita kong nagbebenta is either from the province or busy sa sched, i suggest them to use this mode of payment para less hassle for the both of us.

yan nga ang hirap ngayon ih..pati credibility ng mga honest sellers nasisira dahil sa mga scammers tsk

you can do meet up first thene kung katiwatiwala naman chaka nalng thru bank transactions... may iba kasi may bank account nga pero province ang address at malayo sa location mo yung iba ginagawang advantage para  makapangscam  kc di sila maupuntahan nung client ex. from manila client davao kunyari sila nabayaran mo na fake or cra naman ipadala syo hay kailangn trusted pa din hirap magtiwala

mahirap makahanap ng mapagkakatiwalaan talaga pag bibili online..

depende po kung kanino kayo makikpagtransact eh, kapag trsuted seller sure na po kayo, pero pag hindi kilala, maganda po na meetups talaga para sure

Wala pa akong masamang karanasan

Tama safe naman kung established online seller ito based sa abroad.

well, to be honest, i bought a phone from an online store, sa multiply.com, okay naman....pero i also tried buying at wahoy.com, na-scam ako, cell phone din. So i guess bottom line is that we just have to know the seller. kung pwede meet up bakit hindi diba...

yes its safe basta you take precautionary measures

Yup basta always check feedbacks

mahirap pag online talaga! wag basta magtitiwala!

Masmarami namang honest sellers online. Yung mga scammers mangilan-ngilan lang yun pag minalas ka. Sigurop dapat mag-ingat pa rin.

yon nga po, depende din...kaya nakakaasar ang mga scammers na yan, nakakasira sila sa transaction online...

ebay and amazon are trusted store online.

safe pa din naman, yun nga lang as maganda kung pick-up yung gusto ng seller, para ma check mo muna yung item na bibilhin mo. okay din naman ang via courier, pero doon ka dapat medyo mag-ingat, maramiu pa din namang matitinong seller, pero ingat ka sa mga naglipana dyan.

I shop online often, lalo na pag christmas season na very crowded mamili ng gift sa malls. Pero dun lang sa mga reputable stores like amazon.com.  Just be careful sa mga unknown stores.  Hanapin mo kung meron silang verisign seal, and check it, which will verify kung totoo ang may ari ng site, and kung totoo nga silang business.  If an offer seems too good to be true, mag-ingat ka. 

Nagbenta na kasi ako in the past with my website gotbarako.com.  Usually, mga totoong stores, nagiging https ang start ng address pag dating sa bayaran.  Ask around too.  Kung may kakilala ka na nakabili na sa particular online store na hindi naman nagpaproblems, malamang magiging ok rin ang experience mo.

Ask also about return policies.
