ooo. no business license. that could get them in some uh oh.

online ordering is safe, if you're smart about it. I would always advise using a credit card (all CC companies have their own policies and fraud preventions, u can always do a chargeback on any products you buy if you're not satisified with it)... u should NOT worry about someone stealing ur CC #s but u should worry about the merchant you're dealing with... online security isn't really an issue, the honesty of the merchant is.

if I saw this thread earlier I would have told u to file a transaction dispute with paypal (since you paid shipping with that.. and I'm guessing its a lot) Paypal is another company that is very shady too, (they've ripped out many of their users) and I would never recommend them to use for large volume transactions.. but u can still file a dispute and sometimes they can get ur money back (sometimes they can't)

if u paid with ur credit card through paypal to them... u could have done a chargeback and what paypal would do is freeze their (black flag)'s paypal account...

some tips on online ordering... (use ur credit cardas long as its 128-bit secure)... always be wary if seller indicates long delivery time (ie: not in stock) anything over 30 days is just simply not reasonable, and not safe (u can only do a chargeback with your credit card company after so long), just wait for the items to be in stock before u order. Or, place a deposite and make a special order.

I hope things get fixed for u... they can get in some trouble for not having a business license, but making retail sales...

good luck man.
