This is why I want to just pay for everything with Bitcoin. I gave my credit card to a site (not a subscription site) and they charged me and never delivered. I contacted them and they said they refunded the charge and put in a new order (???). So now I had TWO charges. Why didn't they just ship me the stuff without charging me again? I disputed one charge with the credit card company and the company refunded me after they saw the chargeback. Then a month later they ordered again for me. I had to charge back a second time (and I got a refund back again).
Are you kidding me? The model of "I have your credit card number and the code on the back and I can charge you as many times as I want" is clearly broken.
- ams6110 12y agovirtual/single-use credit card numbers are a potential solution.
- PinguTS 12y agoBut bitcoin will not help you at all, when there is no delivery. Bitcoin has no charge back. Bitcoin is in this sense mor like Western Union. The credit card system gives much better consumer protection most of the time.
- iopq 12y agoNo, the point is they DID deliver, but they tried to keep charging me for new deliveries.
- quanticle 12y agoIf anything Bitcoin would be much, much worse. If I pay for something with Bitcoin, and it doesn't arrive, I'm left without any recourse whatsoever (just as if I'd mailed an envelope full of currency). At least with a credit card, I can file a chargeback claim.
