> but I don't see how this case would have gone differently If you have to make a conscious decision to transfer money first before they ship anything I guess you would notice that $1000 for some plates is a bit much. A good example for this is paypal (even though I don't like them as a middleman): whenever I pay something using it I am redirected to their website and am shown what I will pay to whom in return for what and money only leaves my account if I confirm the transfer. > 1-click to purchase Well, 1-click buying is an anti-feature for me: it promotes impulsive, non-batched and probably quite often unnecessary buying and makes the whole process less transparent (what lead to this incident).
