Do You Check Your Bank Account Regularly?

I use Paypal on line where it's offered. Like always on eBay.

 

I always use Paypal , well it's virtually compulsory for Ebay. And it's so easy shopping on line with it , you don't need to put your card number in so it's more secure and a lot less faff . As Shiney states if the purchase is over £100 maybe better not to use Paypal. I am waiting for a Paypal repayment from Ticketmaster , hopefully by the end of the week ... fingers crossed

 

Didn’t know that. Thanks for info.

 

But the one advantage of a debit card is that if the money isn't in the account, no money can go out.

 

Not on my account, it doesn't.

 

I'd rather not say in public, if that's ok.

 

I check my accounts on line but dont do much else on line regarding my bank.
I always find the credit card account particully confusing regarding how much it is stating I owe.

Often I buy stuff and sometimes return stuff for a refund, finding the correct amount you owe, without just trusting their adding and subtracting is pretty difficult I find, especially when they take the whole amount each month from my bank account as payment on a certain date.

Other than that I use pay pal but that comes off my credit card anyway. pay pal dont get to know my bank details, only my credit card No.

I've been know to use a debit card online but only with the stingy local council, who charge extra if you use a credit card.

 

Very Wise ! ( though no offence to @JWK )

Assume thats not your real name either, I never use my real name on any public site, better safe than sorry.

 

I do virtually all my banking (and checking) on my mobile. I can do it anywhere this way, I frequently do stuff on the train to and from work.

I have never yet had an unusual payment made. Hope it stays that way!

 

No, it's nothing like my real name. It's a sci-fi reference.

 

So everyone else does not have to Google it , as I did . Laura Roslin is a character in Battlestar Galactica

 

I bank with Nationwide. Very seldom are there any problems. Like Shiney, I had a deduction by Amazon for Prime, contacted Amazon and the amount was duly refunded. However about a year ago, I noticed a ten pound deduction. Asking Nationwide about it. Oh yes. That's a London Congestion Charge. Nationwide did all they could but tfl wouldn't budge. I went into top gear, explaining I had for some years been a traffic cop in London, and motoring then was a nightmare. Now I wouldn't dream of driving there. Still no joy. I then related that I do have a car. I don't pay vehicle exercise duty as I am registered disabled. Finally I got my ten pound back.

Recently I and a friend had a meal at the local Harvester. The waitress simply touched th machine with my card. I did my nut.

 

I changed my debit card so it is no longer "contactless" My credit card provider wouldn't.
But I have one of those screened wallets, so it reduces the danger.
All this "contactless" nonsense is all about saving a few seconds. I always wonder what people do with the seconds they saved.
