Default Ways to no get ripped off when ordering online

Anybody out there got any suggestions/experiences on how to get your money back from somebody if you pay them and they don't send the part? (Besides the obvious *** kicking) Is there a way to send the money which you could cancel the payment if you don't get the part in a certain time.

Aww ----, didn't know that!!! Sorry, I retract my previous statement after reading that ----. The best way to not get ripped off online is to not buy online. Buy in person. But anyway you buy you can always be ripped off. Just a fact of life.

Mastercard with online fraud protection. If they can't prove they sent your item with a shipping or traking number you dont have to pay. Or so I have heard, I have never tried it.

I'm not sure of a "for sure" way of not getting ripped off other than buying from someone with a squeaky clean reputation or COD, but a lot of sellers won't ship COD because of scams. You can't trust anyone. ---- them all!!!

not true dr. b, not all sellers are bad. I've only had one problem buying online, and that was a slow shipper.... he shipped real quick though when I reminded him I had his address and said I was coming to beat his ***. He overnited my cam gear. Problem solved. If it wasn't for buying online I'd still be savin for my cold air intake
I've heard lots of bad stories though so I guess I'm just lucky.

you know i always thought with COD you could checkout the item before you pay, but apparently thats not true anymore (with fedex iirc). you have to pay for it then theyll give you the package. i really dont see the advantage to this, even after they tried explaining it to me..
