Another good sign is if the shop you are buying from is part of

be safe.

security the website uses for financial transactions. If the website
doesn't provide any information you should be careful about shopping

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.
