Online Paintball Stores and Your Security

I'm not going to lie, but even though there isn't a paintball store for hundreds of miles where I live, I'm sure I would still order all of my paintball gear online even if there was. For one thing online paintball stores are a lot cheaper, and I don't exactly have a fat stack of cash ready to burn on paintball gear, so what do I do? I save pennies on the dollar and order off of eBay. I also buy paintball gear from ActionVillage or PaintballMountain from time to time, but thats if I find a really good deal.

I have yet to come across a fake online paintball store, but I have come across a couple I would not consider very secure. A quick way to see if an online store is extra secure is to see if there is an https extension in the URL instead of an http.

Aside from that it really takes a good eye and a lot of trust to order paintball gear online. Do you feel safe ordering paintball gear online? You can join the online security conversation below at dNeero-see how others feel about online security and share your experience.
