Cartilage ear piercings may take up to a year to fully heal, but generally take 3-6 months (as opposed to the ear lobe, that takes just 4-6 weeks). They heal from the outside in, so even if it looks fine on the outside, you should not assume it is fully healed.
Not sure how this has to do with Health but my answer would be to not buy things online at all. Nowadays it's EXTREMELY easy to get robbed of your money, by people that live across the world. Your bank account can easily be accessed through a phone, computer, gaming system, credit/debit card, check book, etc. I covered things both online and off. Stay safe!
