Default How many of us shop online?

Hi fellas,

As some of you may know i design websites as a small side business from my full time job. These days Im in the middle making hobby shop sites that will have a shopping cart system.

Now im wondering how many of us in Australia actually shop online using credit cards?

Most of my major buying is on-line using a Visa check card. I have one account that is just for shopping on-line. When I am getting ready to make a purchase I place the amount needed into the account. That way, if anyone would happen to steal the info the only money available is the minimum on the account. If someone would try to make a charge it would show as an overdraft and I would know immediately and be able to cancel the card. It works well. I do use paypal, but more for on-line auctions or purchases from individuals. It comes out of the same account anyway.
