Default Question re: online vendor security

I need a part for my 1999 RX300, and the best price I've found is from 'www.lexuspartsonline.net'. However, when I went to pay by entering my credit card number I noticed that the URL was not secure, i.e, it was merely http and not https. At the foot of the webpage there was a statement that the transaction would be encrypted, but the confirmation of that was merely a GoDaddy certificate. Am I right to be concerned, or am I simply paranoid? TIA.

I would not be too worried about it. Why not just buy from one of the well know vendors that are endorsed on here? Is the price that much better on that site?

I don't think you're being too paranoid. I wouldn't buy from that site, either.

What part are you trying to get?

Rear valve cover. Their price is substantially less than anyone else's.

I found another vendor, at a similar price, with definite security.
