Does anyone think it would be a good idea to order a really cheap item from an online store to check them out? -

If you want to post the url of the store, I d be happy to give my opinion on them. I ve been running and shopping at ecommerce sites, as well as risk management and fraud control for over 10 years now. Purchasing something is one way, but it may not even be worth the risk of that...

I agree. If you re concerned about the security of the site and whether it s legit, I would not order anything for risk of your credit card info being accessed.Can you find the product elsewhere at a site that you feel better about ordering through?
