@Helomi78 Which courier service delivered the package to you from here? :thinking:

Express One brought it to me.

Yes, obviously you have to wait for an item that doesn’t have the 24hrs logo on the picture (both on 2f and 3f), meaning it’s not in stock. I wrote the time calculated from the package’s dispatch, as that is the actual delivery time.

I also brought this up with them, if they already charge a fee for card payments, why do they deduct an additional hidden cost. And by that logic, they could even deduct double, and I’d just stare… They couldn’t give a sensible explanation, just what you wrote too, the first answer was that my bank charged it. When I wrote back with a screenshot showing it wasn’t, they offered to cancel my order and refund me (obviously I would have seen much less of that back too), no concrete explanation… Yes, it could be an interbank transfer fee, extra costs arise with currency conversion, who knows how many banks it goes through.

But I also think it might be that some (fake?) shop collects the purchase price, and that’s why they also have to pay a small commission. If you look at the card transaction details, you don’t see 2f as the seller.

And the same goes for 3f, they deduct a little more and there’s a different seller on the card transaction (they at least inform you about both of these in advance), but it’s better in that they don’t charge a card payment fee in the purchase price.

Oh, and I hope you pay with one-time use cards on these sites :slight_smile: A few days after my first purchase (I didn’t have Revolut yet), the bank already called me to block my card because it was put on an alert list (my card details were leaked).

Well, that’s how it is, but at least it’s not a fake shop, the stuff arrives and both customer services are relatively fair. To quote, life is beautiful :smile:

Igen, csakis azzal! Nekem tavaly azt hiszem 4x kellett új bankkártyát igényelnem, mire megtanultam, hogy csakis egyszer használhatós kártya, és csaknannyi (vagy kicsivel több) legyen az aktuális számlán, mint amennyit fizetni kell! :wink:

I’m with OTP and I have a virtual bank card… it only has money on it if I transfer to it. :hugs:

The good thing about one-time use is that no matter how much is in your account, they cannot make any more purchases with that card; it is suspended/blocked after the first transaction but not deleted. This is important because there are no more purchases, but it can still receive refunds. For example, if your package arrives incomplete or damaged a few weeks later and the seller offers a refund of the purchase price (refund), you don’t have to worry, the refund will arrive (in the Visa/MasterCard system, the information about which account the transfer originated from is still available).

I haven’t had any problems with the virtual one at Revo so far… Sometimes I forget that there’s a one-time use option too.

That’s also good, but IMO, the one-time use one is the best, a huge invention. For instance, if card data leaks, you still have trouble with a virtual one; you have to request a new one (which might also have a cost), and if there’s a balance on it, they can withdraw it, etc., whereas with a one-time one, you paid once and can forget about it.

Except where they don’t accept it, I’ve run into this several times already. I simply generated a new one 2-3 times and it rejected me with “temporary card not allowed” or something similar…

It depends on the shop. In many places, I also use the Revolut virtual card because, based on experience, there hasn’t been any misuse of my card data, and it’s also easy to block and request a new one. However, for new, unknown shops or places that have “leaked data” based on 2-3 experiences, I only use single-use cards.

See my previous answer, it depends on the shop. If I consider the shop reliable, I usually pay with a Revo virtual card too. If it’s unknown and doesn’t accept a temp card, then they can shove it, I won’t spend my money there, that’s it.

Which service provider has such single-use ones? :thinking:

Revolut and OTP are definitely available. With Revolut, you can always generate a new one, and with OTP, I believe the card number is fixed, but it cannot be directly debited.

Revolut, for example, we just mentioned it here with Tibi

Ez így van! De annál az egy vásárlásnál tudnak többet vonni a számládról, lásd feljebb 2fdeal! Tehát ha jelentősen nagyobb összeget akarnának vonni mint amennyit fizetned kellene, érdemes csak kicsivel többet tartani rajta!
