“There has to be a better way.”

That’s what our founder, Steve Woda, said after being ripped off when trying to purchase a handheld computer online five years ago. But instead of giving up on online buying, Steve set out to find a way to make online shopping safer for everyone, and buySAFE® was born.

Today at buySAFE, our mission is to make every online purchase trusted, reliable and risk-free by letting you know which sellers you can trust, and standing behind them. We've created an entirely new way to buy items online – Bonded Shopping™ – that gives you an unmatched level of safety in transactions. Every buySAFE Bonded Seller™ has:

• passed buySAFE's comprehensive Business Inspection process to ensure they are trustworthy, reliable, and committed to delivering on the promises they make to buyers;
• agreed to allow buySAFE to continuously monitor their performance in every transaction; and
• paid for a surety bond from buySAFE and its surety partners (Liberty Mutual, Travelers, and ACE USA) to guarantee each bonded transaction up to $25,000.

We only approve a small percentage of the merchants who apply to become Bonded Sellers, so when you see the buySAFE Seal, you know you're dealing with the most reliable and trustworthy merchants online.
