   preferred internet payment methods
  Hey everyone,I've noticed a lot of topics on the internet on different preferred internetpayment methods. I was just wondering how people preferred to pay on the internet. Paypal, credit card, money order, etc...I would like to know your preferred method for downloadable digital goods.Thanks in advance.   
  Credit card from well known companies.  But that's just me.  Paypal would be a good choice for 'shady' transactions (also known as "you won't get my CC info, bitch" kind of transaction.)   ;Quote:Original post by jfclavetteCredit card from well known companies.

There is only so much in your paypal, and don't you have to log into paypal and transfer them the money? Rather than just giving them their info and saying "Take what I owe you"   ;  I use paypal and MO. I have only had to use MO once though. I think paypal is nice, but it takes forever to get the money from my bank to my paypal account. Also, somepeople get money stolen or whatever from paypal... I have never really heard of a specific event of this happening or dont know anyone thats its happened to so I'm not much worried.   ;Quote:Original post by TalrothQuote:Original post by jfclavetteCredit card from well known companies.

Rather than just giving them their info and saying "Take what I owe you"What I meant is that I use Paypal for transactions where I wouldn't trust the other side with my CC info,hence 'shady transactions'.  Not that Paypal itself is shady.   ;  Visa;  IMHO, Paypal is not the best, it is however the most convinent, for offering online payments and accepting credit cards it is simply the quickest, and most convinent, simply click on pay by paypal, type in details and done!however as a consumer, watch who you buy from, they totally ripped me off and I hate them, My brother bought off of ebay some wristbands which turned out to be counterfeit, it was for a lot of them (I think 50) and we made a complaint, they did "everything they could", they phoned the seller and then all they said was "the goods are not counterfeit" without any proof, without seeing what we had, or anything like thatI could probably do a chargeback on credit card, I am pretty sure that I would be in my right, but at the same time, I want to use paypal for other things and I am sure that if I did this, they would cancel my account.If another, fair service was here tommorow that was as simple and quick to use as paypal, there is no doubt in my mind it would be more popular.   ;  Credit card is nice. Just make sure to look over the charges each month to make sure there isn't anyone trying to scam you. Most credit card companies will let you dispute charges if you didn't buy that thing. I've never bought anything over eBay that wasn't someone reputable (and never anything expensive).   ;  I prefer to use Paypal since it is the quickest and easiest method. However, I also agree with others that using Paypal does help you minimize the number of people you give your CC number to which is a good thing. As always, check who you are buying from - for sites like eBay check the history and comments that the seller has.   ;  well, here (is non-us asked?) bank transfer and maybe cash on delivery (for mail order) is favoured. most people ain't got credit cards here...
