This is noteworthy: <<< Use only a credit or charge card - never a bank debit card - for online purchases. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, consumers are liable for a maximum of $50 if a credit card is used fraudulently and have the right to dispute charges under certain circumstances and temporarily withhold payment while the creditor is investigating them. Debit cards don't offer such protection - using one online puts your entire checking or savings account at risk. >>>
