What do people think about using credit cards online? Since I had money taken out of my account by fraud not that long ago, I've been a bit uneasy to use it on the net :/ I know there's paypal and others so I'll probably switch to one of those, as they seem most popular in Canada :) Thoughts?

Cheers,

Jacob

Well, I have used them on Amazon and other sites and everything has been kosher. So no complains from me.

If I use them, I make sure to stick to commonly known sites and never keep my card information saved.

I do a ton of online shopping and the only time I have had problems with fraud are when I used my card in person.

This person has the same habits I do, and I've never had an issue.

^I suppose as a side-note, I have never ran in to a fraud problem when doing this.^

I've never had a problem. Just check your accounts regularly and if you see and irregularities most card companies will compensate you for the fraud or damage.

Never use my Credit Card, its for emergencies, however my debit card I've used on plenty of sites. Now a days I will stick to Paypal because I do know some people who have had their banked wiped out due to fraud.
