    Well I wanted to buy an EZ-Flash IV card, when I noticed you can only pay with your credit card. That wouldn't be a problem, but the question is: Is it safe?
     
    Paypal is relativly safe all things considered. You just have to watch your e-mail for Pishing e-mails and people trying to steal your info.

    Otherwise, I've never had a problem.
     
    The only thing with PayPal is that they will not be hesitant to freeze your account if you are buying out-of-country or from "a shady source." When they do, it is a pain to get your money back. Because of this (it happened to me twice), I try not to use it that much.

    Other than that, it is relatively safe. As Mewthree said, watch out for phishing emails, and make sure you are buying from a trusted site (check the Better Business Bureau website).

    OK...
    btw Is dealextreme a trusted page to you?
     
    Well, I haven't ordered from DealExtreme. I would trust it, though. I know a good amount of people on another board who have ordered from there.
     
    I don't think 120 million people would be using it if it wasn't safe.
     
    Never had a problem on my end :)
     
    120 million people wouldn't be using it if it wasn't for eBay.

    Anyway, have you placed the order yet?
