As stated in the "Online Scam Stores - A list and guide" thread in the "Merchant Discussion and Shopping Advice" forum:
A general rule of thumb to avoid getting burned:
-Always use a credit card to buy online. It offers you protection whereas all other forms of payment do not. Even paypal's protection is generally not as good as a credit card. Credit card refund policies are usually low hassle for the consumer.
-If a store has a price that sounds good to be true, and you've never heard of the store and can't find it listed at ResellerRatings, make sure they take credit cards. If this situation comes up and you pay by western union, cash, check, etc, you'll be burned.
