Alexander. Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 When you are purchasing gaming merch or computer games or equipment, which payment provider do you use and why? I use PayPal over other payment services as it provides security against unauthorised transactions and buyer protection. PayPal is widely known around the world and is accepted by a wide variety of merchants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaminsensible Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I use either my Debit Card (Visa & Mastercard) or Paypal which is linked to those two. If I have doubts about a site (even after reading reviews and asking people) I will use PayPal as they use their own Site to make the transactions instead of putting your information in a database that you aren't even sure if it is accessible only by them, none or anyone.

Alyxx Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 PayPal if I can. Not a fan of giving out my credit card information online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use Paypal and I have both a US one which is my shopping/personal one and a business Paypal account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Most of my purchases are from Debit card. So any provider works for me as long as my card is supported. I avoid paypal because they have pretty much high transaction rates on the currency conversion. So it can be pretty effective for the payment services to offer options to people and not just keep it with paypal alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why most of us go with Paypal is they have a great protection policy especially for buyers and your personal information will not be given to any entities that you do business. The seller cannot sneakily overcharge for any transaction or charge the same transaction twice without your permission so it is really beneficial.
