As far as credit card security, if the site is secure and reputable you're reasonably ok.

As TR said check the ratings.

Ebay check feedback - generally the more the better.

Probably bought over 500 items online over the years and only got burned once on Ebay.

Usually a limit to your liability for credit card fraud.

No settings necessary - at least I've never done any.

If you're going to purchase online, use a credit card that gives you some insurance like AMEX.
Debit cards typically if you get burned you're SOL, AMEX will refund your money typically.

You'll find many people on these boards shop online, but most will try to keep within a select few like NewEgg.com or Amazon... companies we know we can trust.
