of Merchandise |

 | Make sure you are purchasing merchandise from a reputable source.
 | Do your homework on the individual or company to ensure that they
are legitimate.
 | Try to obtain a physical address rather than merely a post office
box and a phone number, call the seller to see if the number is
correct and working.
 | Send them e-mail to see if they have an active e-mail address and be
wary of sellers who use free e-mail services where a credit card
wasn’t required to open the account.
 | Consider not purchasing from sellers who won't provide you with this
type of information.
 | Check with the Better Business Bureau from the seller’s area.
 | Check out other web sites regarding this person/company.
 | Don’t judge a person/company by their web site.
 | Be cautious when responding to special offers (especially through
unsolicited e-mail).
 | Be cautious when dealing with individuals/companies from outside
your own country.
 | Inquire about returns and warranties.
 | The safest way to purchase items via the Internet is by credit card
because you can often dispute the charges if something is wrong.
 | Make sure the transaction is secure when you electronically send
your credit card numbers.
 | Consider utilizing an escrow or alternate payment service. |

 | Don't give out your credit card number(s) online unless the site is
a secure and reputable site. Sometimes a tiny icon of a padlock
appears to symbolize a higher level of security to transmit data. This
icon is not a guarantee of a secure site, but might provide you some
assurance. Paramito Jewelers uses PayPal's secure online credit
card processing.
 | Don't trust a site just because it claims to be secure.
