4. Does this site offer person to person payments?

• The site doesn't offer person to person payment. 

5. How can I verify that this site has not compromised individual's credit card or personal information?

• You can check if your credit card identity is stolen by checking the bill you get from the webstore when you purchase.  

6. Identify 3 methods I can use to keep my credit card and personal data safe from hacking while shopping online.

• You can pay by Paypal, or you can send a check/ money order so your credit cards identity can't be compromised.  Also, you can pay using a Wire Transfer, which allows you to specify the amount you want to pay so only the amount of money you specify can be taken from you for the payment.
