Re: Can you help please?

Thanks Paul. I had wanted to pay by debit card. I guess if I order on Barclaycard at least I have card protection rather than finding I have nil funds in my current account!

Re: Can you help please?

The part where you put your debit card details in is secure, and that is all that matters. Just check for the https:// in front of the web address. I ordered my DVD-RW from there with no problems.

Thanks Ramrod, I will order and hope that I sleep peacefully! Before I even learned how to go on the internet it was drummed into me that the twelfth commandment (after Thou Shalt Not Be Found Out) was "Thou Shalt Not Order From A Site Which Is Not Secure".

Re: Can you help please?

Don't worry about double checking the security of the site If you are in any doubt as to the validity or security of any site then the best thing to do is ask or google. If people have problems with sites they have a tendancy to use forums as a way of warning others. No doubt there will be others that have asked sites too late to be warned or advised at least you asked first

Thumbs up Re: Can you help please?

Thanks to you all. Zeph was right - it did show the secure site when I started to put my details of the card in. Sorry to have given you all a hectic afternoon. Having ordered, I am now going to lie down in a darkened room with an extremely large bottle of voddie suspended above my head! Oh yes, and I have just received confirmation of my order!
