Ups... NOW WHAT!!

[myth]

I won a bid on ebay! but they dont take pay pal... but they do take credit card! so I clicked the link and it took me to a screan where I could send a email to the buyer! well I sent one... And in my email in box I got this..

"Dear altgear,

I will be sending payment of US $33.00 via Credit Cards shortly."

This was sent by ebay to me as a reminder... HOW DO I PAY THIS PERSON ? Do I email him my credit card numbers? ... Will he email me?

[Spud1]

wait for him to email you, or email him and ask

but WHATEVER you do DO NOT SEND HIM YOUR CC NUMBERS

sending those to him would be just like handing it to him...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You should never Email your CC numbers to anyone no matter what. Email is 100% unsecure, email adresses can be spoofed easily, you could be sending your credit card details to *anyone*. It would be like having a 30ft wide poster of your credit card on the side of your house.

NOOOO EMAIL CREDIT CARD!!!! NOOOO!!!!!!

Only pay him via credit card if he has a secure SSL encrypted website with which to type your details in, or has a buisness pay pal account that can take credit cards.

Otherwise, send him a cheque.
