| When buying good from UK shops it is always important to know that your payment transactions are secure. When using either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator web browsers the below procedure should appear when entering your payment details, | |
 | This should appear in Internet Explorer |
 | This should appear in Netscape Navigator |
| If this procedure doesn't happen you should not enter your payment details. The security lock logo above shows that you have entered a secure area (SSL = Secure Server) and means entering private information is safe. If this doesn't happen, email the shop in question and ask what security measures they use for payment details ( credit/debit cards ). Another good sign is if the shop you are buying from is part of a business association like the " The Which Web Traders Association ". The Which Web Traders Association has 2200 listed members who have all passed a series of rigorous checks carried out by their experts. This means that purchasing goods from these web sites should be safe. When shopping online in the UK you should also try and read what security the website uses for financial transactions. If the website doesn't provide any information you should be careful about shopping and buying from them. Most UK sites which use secure payment systems will usually always advertise the fact on their site to reassure it's customers. So if they don't on the site you are shopping from you must ask yourself why ? because it could mean they don't have any safe shopping procedure.
