Buying stuff on the Internet - How do you pay?

[HappyHammer]

Was just wondering what methods you use when buying stuff on the internet and why.....?

Paypal, sometimes a credit card. A lot of credit cards have purchase protection. The cool thing about paypal is that if you are paid for something, you can keep the money in a paypal account that pays 5-6%.

I use paypal or enter card details on site. Never had a problem

Do you provide your CC details over the internet to Paypal?

HH.

[echnidna]

!. I use Paypal to buy & sell with, its recognised worldwide and takes care of exchange rates.
2. If a seller doesn't send the goods etc you get refunded by Paypal (stc)
3. Most online sellers accept it.
4. I only entered Credit card details once altogether & not on every transaction

I'd really prefer to use a non ebay company but what?

Al :UI pay 4 different ways. Which means I ticked 4 boxes
:wink:

I usually contact the seller and do Direct Credit to their bank account. I provide my Bank account details for receipt of money when I sell something. Never had a problem with any method - touch wood. PayPal fees can be high if you're a seller. I've even Direct Credited to a US bank account.

[chrisb691]

Paypal or direct deposit.

[DavidG]

Direct deposit... Paypal as a last resort

[rhancock]

Reputable online merchants - large dept stores, local companies I know, I enter credit card details.
Ebay - prefer direct deposit, even though I am taking all the risks by paying before I know anything about the seller.
Paypal if nothing else is possible.
If I"m not confident in the merchant, use the phone.

I have used papal for a few years now with about 100 transactions and haven’t had a problem of any kind.

I have investigated direct deposit to foreign countries with all three different banks that I have accounts with. The costs were out of this world. papal costs me nothing as a consumer, and has been the cheapest option as a vendor for the few items that I have sold in the U.S.

I use what ever..direct debit..paypal. Never a problem with anything really.

[HappyHammer]

Looks like I'll register with Paypal...I'm a bit nervous still about giving out my bank account details or credit card details. Is it widely excepted other than by eBay?

HH.

[echnidna]

very widely accepted

[munruben]

Always use direct deposit, don't like giving credit card details over the internet. I have been told though that you cannot make a claim against ebay for reimbursement if something goes wrong using the direct deposit method. Don't know if that is true or not.
I only purchase from ebay sellers that have 100% positive feedback.

[jmk89]

Reputable merchants - credit card
EBay - Australian sellers - I prefer bank transfer to their account (but it can be a bugger if they are not very good at reconciling the statement or they give you the wrong number - there is a fee for processing a return of a transfer transaction)
EBay - International sellers - I'm happy to use PayPal

No real problems to date - the only time I've had a prob with credit card fraud was when I personally used my card in Singapore and it started to be used to buy jewelery in Hong Kong (and that was in the day of paper inprinted card slips>>>)

[ss_11000]
