Are you leary of using your credit card on the internet to pay for your purchase because you believe that you will be scammed? Or perhaps you don't have a credit card and want to purchase something online and they are requesting a credit card number. Be of good cheer because I have discovered that Paypal has rode in to the rescue with thier Secure Card plug in for your browser that was introduced. almost two years ago
Here is how the plug in works. PayPal, a web service that lets you send/receive online payments has launched a windows based browser plugin that provides you easy access to the secure card service. Once you become a member or if you are already a member of PayPal they allows you to link your credit card number or your bank account to your PayPal account) within your browser.
To install the plugin, simply login to your PayPal account and select PayPal plugin from the menu. You'll be prompted to download a 5MB file which will install the plugin for both Internet Explorer and Firefox. A “P” icon will then be populated in your browser once installed then a window pops up whenever you visit a site for online purchasing and you’re asked for credit card information. When a payment needs to be made, the user clicks a download PayPal radio button within the browser. This action populates your name and address and then generates a unique transaction number that can only be used once. Since this is a one time use number there is never a need to worry about future charges to your account. The transaction number is possible due to a deal done with finance company MasterCard. The site taking the payment sees the transaction as just a MasterCard payment, but the user gets to use their secure PayPal account instead of divulging actual credit card details.
So Why an I writing this?. If you ever feel uncertain about a transaction then using PayPal secure card is your best bet. It is also FREE to sign up for PayPal.
