Ebay payment (paypal or credit card)

[strobemonkey]

Hi guys
Just won a refurb 5DII on ebay (canon shop).
Which is a better mode of payment, paypal or credit card, in case something's wrong with the camera and need refund etc.?

Please I need your advice.

Many thanks

Paypal should hold the funds in the sellers account until you have left positive feedback (or 21 days I think). Should you have a problem, you can file a dispute there and the funds will then be properlly held until you are happy (or refunded).

Another way would be to fund your paypal using your credit card.
So you kind of get double protection.

Negatory - Section 75 of the CCA only applies to direct purchases from retailers. Paypal would protect your purchase regardless of source of funds to them.

tends to be easier to checkout via the paypal option on the canon outlet, the amount of times it fails during credit card is unreal !

I paid via paypal. After logging in to my paypal account, it prompted me to input credit card number.. I find it weird but it went through without problem.
Now the wait is on, hopefully all will be well with the camera.
