More and more people in Israel buy clothes, books and phones online. It's quick and easy, and the prices are often lower than in the shops. But shopping online also has problems. Here are five tips that can help you.

1. Buy from websites you know. Before you buy from a new website, read reviews from other customers. If many people say that their order never arrived, don't buy there.

2. Check the size. You can't try on clothes before you buy them, so look at the size chart on the website. Remember that sizes in the USA, Europe and China are often different.

3. Look at the total price. A T-shirt for 30 shekels sounds cheap, but sometimes you also have to pay for shipping. Shipping from abroad can cost more than the T-shirt!

4. Read the return policy. What happens if the shoes are too small, or the colour isn't what you expected? Some shops let you return things for free in the first 14 days. Others don't take anything back.

5. Keep your details safe. Use a strong password, and only pay on websites with a lock sign next to the address. Never send your credit card number in an email.

Finally, be patient. A package from abroad can take three or four weeks to arrive. So if you need a dress for a party next week, it's better to go to the mall!
