NOTHING is 100% safe when it comes to the internet, and NOTHING is 100% safe when it comes to money. No.

You've received mainly good answers. I believe you can make money on Ebay if you
have the goods people will want to buy. The goods don't have to be new; people are looking for bargains, particularly in electronics. You might check out Ebay and see the various things people are selling to get an idea if you have similar things you are ready to part with.
Also one person I know specializes in buying and fixing Barbie dolls and then selling them on Ebay. She does very well.

Wait a minute, do you mean not even a thing online is 100% safe?

Or you mean, nothing, online is totally safe.

the internet itself, your computer, all of it can be hacked into, or sites can be hacked into, or just a gimmick....nothing on here is safe

My second job is an online one.

All I do is stay in front of the computer for several hours, email some companies and wait for them to respond. Then, I report to my boss.

It's 100 percent safe.

But of course, I'm speaking for myself. I believe that generally, there's no 100 percent safety when we talk about online activities.

the best way to make money online is to buy and sell stock on the stock market. with a ten thousand dollar initial investment, you could make a hundred dollars a day. stocks go up sell, stocks go down buy. I know a few homeless guys who do that. they clear at least three grand a month.

I agree with Mary Mary quite contrary. Even knowledgable people have tried that and wound up losing most of their money. Some of the financial magazines such as Kiplingers, Smart-Money and Money Magazine have given their writers money to use to do day trading. The writers spent their hours at the computer and were humbled by their loses. It
is a sucker's game. Your odds of winning the lottery
are probably just as good as winning by online buying and selling stock.

I kind of wonder if keymaster was trying to be funny... "I know a few homeless guys... who clear three grand a month..."
:D

three guys, they live in their vans. they meet at starbucks every morning bright and early. one guy says hello to me. we talked about his ten thousand dollar investment pool. he said he works with ten different stocks that seem to rise and fall according to a schedule. the news tracks the events of the usa, and they influence the stock market. even today. mr. bush is talking about bailing out the auto industry. just talk is enough to boost prices for some commodities. my acquaintance is a retired college professor. one has to have some investment money to get started. One could buy penny stocks and hold them for awhile. AOL was a penny stock. there is one website that lets you buy one share of stock. watch the silver prices go up and down.
.
test yourself, spend an imaginary ten thousand dollars on some stocks and chart their growth. i bet there is a website that does that already. the portfolio in the clouds dot com.

ABSOLUTELY!

Making money online is EVERY BIT as safe as anything else! Like:

Riding a bike
Crossing the street
Driving a car
Flying in a plane
Swimming
Cooking over an open flame
Waling to the store by yourself
Changing the valve cover gaskets on your car
Being sexually active
Surgery fo remove your tonsils
Anethesia for dental work
Shaving with a razer
Operating a hydraulic press
Using sheet metal sheers
Target shooting
Fishing from a boat in the middle of a lake
Handling fiberglass insulation
Pouring hot water over tea bags
Meeting your online blind date for the first time
Drinking alcoholic beverages
Going on a safari
Turning your furnace on to stay warm
.
.
.
.
.
.
CR*P! I just realized something! NOTHING is 100% safe!

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Seriously, it depends on HOW the money is made. People run scams all the time, the internet is just the newest medium to do it on.

So some research, ask professionals, and stick with well known organizaions when doing business on the internet.

It is if you do it through a reputable company. I strongly recommend Amazon for bookselling, Amazon Associates, and Amazon Mechanical Turk.

Here is an article I wrote about that and some other money making ideas:

Noooooo.... some site ask for credit card number and steal all your money. Therefore choosing right website is very very important. Some are genuine sites which provide numerous ways to earn genuine money but your really have to search. I am earning through one site which i found quite reliable and from lat 1 year i never encountered any problem. But my previous experience was miserable. Therefore my friend all figures are not equal. Choose them with care.

It's a matter of belief if you believe there is nothing but scams out there you will be drawn to the scam.
Nothing in life is 100%.

As far as on-line making money online safe:
