When buying from Landsend or Amazon, I normally trust their ecommerce
security. But when I am buying something online from "Bubba's Lasermax
Imporium" in Nebraska, I will scan their site as well as "Dwyne's Glock
Shop" in Arkansas and pick the one with the more secure ecommerce rather
than the one with the cheaper price.
Call me Joe consumer :-)
