Would you use your card?

[Zutankhamun]

I make a point of using PayPal for everything vape related because I know that PayPal will side with the buyer as opposed to seller should any problems arise.

But... I have found something I want so bad but they don't use PayPal. The firm is a registered supplier of the company, who's product I want. So I would imagine they are safe.

Would you input your own card number these days or would you rely on PayPal (or similar company)?

Thanks

I don't know who you're buying from, but there are well established vendors I order from and use my card with them all the time.

I get the Visa prepaid cards for online shopping.

I did start using a prepaid card (Google Wallet) but since Google dropped that program, I've been lackadaisically looking for another prepaid reloadable card without any fees.

BlueBird debit card. Has never cost me a single cent. I use it for online shopping and to send money to anyone else who has one. Google it.

I won't be using my credit card online again unless it's a reputable US company (and maybe not even then) especially for China purchases, soon after a 3F vape and a US purchase someone just charged over 600 on restaurant supplies on my card so stopped that payment and waiting on a new card. I use PayPal for fasttech and anywhere else and never a problem there. The definition of insanity would be using your debit card online.

I found out that my bank has a reloadable prepaid Mastercard, and since I have an account there's no fee to open, no fee to load, and no monthly fees. Not tied to my checking account, and its protected, so I am probably going to get one of those for online purchases.

I keep a prepaid debit card for the purpose

BlueBird prepaid debit card. Collaboration between Amex/Wal-Mart. Has never cost me a penny. I use for online shopping and sending money to family (or anyone) who have their own BB card.

Google it.

Can't find out. It says; Credit card (authorise.net)
I can send an email to ask but I think I'll just use the prepaid tomorrow and risk it.
Like I said. They are a registered supplier of the co. I want to buy from but they are sold out of this particular product.

PM me the url, ill take a gander for ya

The last two incidents I had with online shopping involved two of my credit cards, and in both cases the credit card company called ME shortly after they blocked the transaction.

YMMV.

I've gotten to the point, of using a prepaid visa gift card to pay for vaping, after our debt card was compromised.

I've bought online using my MC debit card for years. Never had a problem. But I do always research the vendor, look for reviews, etc, beforehand.

I'm willing to pay the fee, under $5 just to use it and not have another nightmare on our hands. I usually do $100 at a time on cards.

BOA has a service called SafeShop. Not tied to your checking acct but to your BOA credit card. It creates a temp cc number you use to shop online with and the vendor sees it as a regular cc. Never have to give your real cc number out to anyone to shop online. I just put in the amount of my purchase and they generate the actual number to give to the vendor Good for only one merchant one sale. If you have several online purchases you have to create another temp number for each vendor purchase.

I love this. Just switched to them because I was tired of getting my visa hacked. My hacked visa was from one bank and the only one I had any problems with. So at BOA you can choose if you want visa or master card. I have never had any problems anywhere with master card.

my 2 pennies


eta and it is totally free, no additional charges.

 

[Zutankhamun]

Mum has one of those prepaid master cards so i think ill be using that now. Thanks

Check their card processing credentials out.

 

[NU_FTW]

They use BlueCheck??

for age verification, what do they use for CC processing?

 

[David Wolf]

Becareful some banks will not accept vaping purchases

Mine must not care I used my regular Visa card to purchase Vape stuff in the US sometimes.

 

[Skold]

I've only used my card once, for my nebox but I would do it again. I trust the website

 

[Skold]

Ah I see, there is certain websites I wunt dream of using it on!
