![]() Online shopping has become a well known, popular trend thanks to its convenience and simplicity. However, for all its usefulness the Internet can also be a dangerous place to spend money. This is why it is important to teach kids how to stay safe while online shopping. Follow these quick tips for buying online to ensure your child has a good understanding of online safety;
Payment Methods and Personal Information Providing personal information is a necessity of online shopping, however this information should always be given out cautiously. Explain to your kids that a site should never ask for personal information like Tax File Numbers, Social Security Numbers or other information that doesn't include a shipping address and payment method. Common payment methods include credit cards, debit cards, PayPal and prepaid cards. The most recommended choice is to stick with prepaid or debit cards to limit overspending. If using a credit card, always check your transactions and query any that you do not recognise.
