I'm confused by your question. This forum is meant for people who are running eCommerce sites, not buying from them.

it may be any thing such as log out or pin hacking so use carefuly.

The main slogan of e-commerce sites is to offer. Developing a web page is simply a matter of flavor but still there are some factors that must be prevented.
Here are some such factors that I find all e-commerce sites must avoid:
Tiny Fonts:
Since cellular purchasing is becoming the most recent pattern, e-commerce sites must style their web page maintaining in concern the comfort of their prospective cellular guests. Using small print styles on your web page can make it difficult for cellular customers to study it as well as to simply click without cruising.
No Delivery Quote:
Every client viewing your on the internet shop will always want to know how much price will he/she have to pay for a particular item, such as its shipping price. Therefore it is suggested to bring up the price suffered on shipping to your clients as soon as they add a particular item to the purchasing wagon solution application instead of referring to it after the client has posted all the information about bank card information and so on.
Poor Visual Design:
Imagine purchasing in a shop that odors dirty and is under maintained!! Seems terrible is not it? Same is the case of a badly developed purchasing on the internet web page. Even though you might be the best company, your web page look and design can be frustrating for your clients. Keep in mind that the style and demonstration of an on the internet songs shop, toy shop or video games shop will help to entice clients and add a good storage to their purchasing experience as well.
Broken Stuff:
If you web page has losing pictures and deceased hyperlinks then it can be very frustrating to the individual and give a bad effect to them. Ecommerce sites have a number of sources, such as pictures and other hyperlinks. It is common for so many cellular items to go incorrect at some point. But being the proprietor of an e-commerce web page you must be accountable enough to check such mistakes and fix them as soon as possible.

Keep your products updated on ecomerce site,
Provide a good user interface to your users and keep controls user frindly, so intended users can easily use them.
And as shahneel355 said if costomer suffers because of your fault then take appropriate action to rectify your mistakes,
And keep advising your costomers of phishing etc. and keep good security checks.

What Mistakes one must avoid on online shopping websites ?
these are the mistakes to be avoided
Not Using Coupons
Lack of product descriptions
Compulsory Registration process is a big no-no
Lack of contact information

Right,above point is true all these misten avoid in online shopping website.

The same concept for closing sales in eCommerce applies, just as for in person sales, and that is the concept of know, like and trust. There are unique ways to convey know, like and trust online. For example; contact information, great reviews, a thorough knowledgebase, quality live-chat and so on.

dont leave the personal data on the ecommerce sites just like the bank accounts number or credit cards number
