I just won a video card for . . . let's just say a high price . . . on eBay . . . I was wondering, what's the safest way to pay besides MO? The seller has 300 feedback . . . if I pay with PayPal, will that $1000 protection thing protect me?

Safest? CC Paypal.

I'm glad I used it last time...

if you pay with your cc you have the protection that the cc company gives you. Its usually the best bet.

i see . . .

what about debit cards? i know they're not credit cards because they dont give much protection, but . . .

You might not get the same protection from that (unless it's a VISA debit card)...

If it has a Visa or Mastercard logo on it - you get the same protection as if it were a CC purchase.

IIRC doesnt it depend on the bank?

My bank does offer that protection, but I have heard horror stories.

I have tons of confidence in Paypal. If you have been a long time, frequent user, they take care of you.
