is it good and safe to order from DHGate now? A few pages back there was some worry about CC numbers being stolen from the site? I'm waiting to place an order and just want to check with everyone here if there's been any new problems before I do this, thanks for the input.
There have been no new problems and lots of people have already ordered since. You should just use general purchasing caution when using any card.
Don't use a card tied to your bank
(Shouldn't use this anywhere. It's taking money directly out of your account).
Use a CC card
(Like a condom. Should any company (and lots of companies are not great with customer data online) lose your info your CC will get hit. If for some crazy reason your CC company will not remove the charges, you can at least not pay the CC bill and only hurt your credit and have money in your pocket).
All of my online issues so far have stemmed from using Yahoo who has lost customer data more times than I can count. So I'd worry about everywhere, not just Chinese sites. Many places of lost customer data. People still use PSN (Playstation Network) despite their Chief Technology Officer showing a BLATANT disregard for customer data.
