This quantitative research will be used to evaluate the sampling (Zikmund 2013). The researcher will use the philosophy of positivism, deductive research approach and descriptive research design in order to progress ahead with the research. This is because the philosophy will help the researcher to arrive at the outcome of the study based on scientifically proven tools and techniques. The researcher will not choose the inductive research approach, as no new theory or model after reaching the inference of the research. Therefore, deductive approach will be deemed fit for the study. The descriptive research design will be chosen in this study, as this specific design will help the researcher to identify the reasons and issues behind the research. Data Collection and Analysis The essential data will be collected in the form of a survey questionnaire. The spotlight of the survey would be to anticipate how usually consumers use e-Commerce to buy goods through online.

Thus we will be able to learn whether the buyer is familiar of the risks involved by using of credit cards. The above would be used to identify the different cautions being taken by the user to deter such risky factors. Analysis tools will be used for analysis and exploratory data. This will be used to making assumption about the distribution of the data (Panneerselvam, 2014). Non-parametric studies will be used to verify sum of the ranks and comparison between two.
