I shop using debit... And my security thing went off, I'm sure the site was safe though. Do you think my security will go off EVERYtime I shop? I dont want to lose it but it's annoying.

@HizokuXAmbipom I don't know what the security features of your card are -- you should call your company and discuss the options with them.

Do you now any why to get the product first and pay later? I think that's more safe =)

@fagrestryn Safe? Not for the retailer!

can i ask a question. its ok that i don't accept credit cards? only cash i mean 50% down payment 50% upon delivery. its that right or not?

[macmostvideo]

I don't understand your context. Do you own a store? Online? And what do you mean by "OK" -- it is really up to you what you want to accept. Hard for anyone else to judge.

I use a seperate credit card for online purchases only, it has a restricted (lower than normal) maximum credit limit. I can check the balance\activity of this card regularly online. No problems so far, but the tips on this video are essential to adhere to.

Good advice & well done.
