buying online

alibabba

I normally use Paypal, so if anything goes wrong i have a fall-back
but if im buying something online using just a credit card transaction (ie online store in china) how safe is it, am i open to fraud ?
do i have protection with the visa company ?

You are always open for a fraud when you use your card any where in the world; online shops in China obviously have a higher risk then spar around the corner.

In general though you will have the possability of a charge back via the CC company. If possible look into if your bank offers e-cards (one time cards created with a set credit limit and duration that look like a real CC to the store). Out of curiousity what are you buying from the online store and do you mind linking it?

ive reg my CC with verified by visa, so hopefully that will help a bit
im staying away from the nike shox website, might go with the core deals one

my brother is looking for me to buy a pair, over 100 euro here at home, 44 euro delivered from china, he said it worth the price to see are the genuine or not

buy a UK debit card, that way you are limited as to what you can lose, however, you lose the CC protecton too (for a fee, about 2% I think)

Get charge free flights with ryanair though if you choose a UK £ debit card though.

If its an online store in China selling Nike Shox at a great price, then almost certainly its either a scam site or fake products.

You'll also get caught by duty & vat when they come into Ireland

Go to Nike factory store in Kildare Outlets where you'll get many styles at half price.
