How you can make online purchase more safe way with HDFC credit card

I have purchased Samsung Galaxy y from Ebay India without entering my actual credit card information! Yes it look like strange but true, if you would like to know how then continue below reading..

Got New Samsung Galaxy Y - First time purchased from Ebay India

I got Samsung Galaxy Y mobile in last week at my home delivered by Ebay with good and strong packing and very exited to tell about my first experience on Ebay India for online purchase.

Why Samsung?
Samsung has created best and successful galaxy series with comfortable price as compare to Apple IPhone, In India for majority people Samsung galaxy series is best one as it provides comfortable price as well good touch experience like apple IPhone anyway Apple is unbeatable technology. .

Why online?
Many people told me that why you have purchased online in spite of so many retail store available here but most important thing is TIME, because we need to go there and we need select only from whatever available with them, on other side online store can you give you vast listing of products to select as per your choise and different payment option (EMI is better for salaried employee like me)

I have searched lots of sellers on ebay and searched on another online store like FilpKart, Infibeam as well and after that i have selected one power seller on Ebay India (power seller is recommended on Ebay)

The funniest thing is actually i was trying to buy laptop but there were so many models and confused and still confused as per price,features and brand (You can give me suggestion if you want to help me) in between came across Samsung galaxy and read about Androids and it's features and finally bought Mobile :) Now internet is in my hand and i can write and post on this blog at anytime using this android apps.

Anyway I recommended Ebay to purchase online beacuse it will give following benefits

1) You can search same product with different sellers and can compare price between them.
2) You can choose reliable seller by their feedback and ratings.
3) Ebay gives facility to select various options for pyament including EMI (I have buy it thorugh 6 months EMI) so you will pay it in installments.
4) Ebay will give gurentee on each product and systematic process to deliver product to end user.
5) Ebay will create deadlines for shipment and delivery for product which you have purchased from any seller,if sellere will fail to do that then you will get your money back.

In india FilpKart is also very good store to buy items online mostly for books.

Now Arun Rana's Lab with power of Samsung Galaxy and Android :)
