Hi Guys,

I don't often order cross border, but this time I need some stuff that I only can find with GSA at the moment.

 

I know that end of last year there have been a lot of issues with the credit card payments and fraud with customers who purchased online with GSA and paid with their CC.

 

Before I order ... is it safe to pay with CC already or is it just better to be safe than sorry and go through Paypal?

 

Thanks!!

AI think they still only accept Paypal. But to be sure, just use Paypal, it doesn't cost you any extra.

AI haven't recently heard anything about GSA but I would still be safe than sorry and for sure use PayPal. Better safe than sorry.

Probably ... I always get greedy when I shop there :D... Unfortunately they don't ship everything internationally.

There have been people who buy something using cc and months later have charges on there cc and they haven't bought anything from GSA again but have charges on the there cc.

AI was one of those people who had issues with my card number being compromised in the past. I have ordered twice since then. Once using PayPal and most recently using a credit card... I can say I'm totally happy with their service and new online ordering security. Love GSA and will definately continue to order from them. Hope this helps :-)

I had my card compromised twice from GSA orders. That said, I have ordered from them a few times since but will only use Paypal. And I now have a separate credit card for the business, so it's very easy to see if anything is amiss. I was really annoyed with the situation when it went down, but they have a huge selection, decent prices, and super-quick shipping. So I'm taking the risk and crossing my fingers.

AI myself have never ordered from GSA I just happened to be around when a few people were having problems with charges being put on there cc when they hadn't ordered anything, GSA must be a really good site because people who have had problems said they would order from the again they just said that they would use PAYPAL from now on. SO HAPPY SHOPPING.

If there's a paypal option ALWAYS use it. This is from someone who's had her credit card number stolen five times because I have to shop online for all my supplies.

We really have to keep our card secured.!While secured charge cards could be expensive, there are situations where they could be quite helpful. Rebuilding your credit is the primary reason. Here are a few of the secured charge cards for just that scenario. Pay for your next purchase with a personal finance if you need some extra help.
