Payment advice

[ShiroEd]

I'm trying to pay Steve for an order. It's my first time and my CC failed for him. I've had no prompt from them to address or approve so I'm thinking about alternative ways.
Steve also requested a photo of my Credit Card with some numbers blurred out but I'm not comfortable with that.
I'm in the UK and my options include Bank Transfer, Western Union or Wise.
Steve has give me the details for his bank but I would appreciate any advice on the best way forward.

Many thanks,
Ed

you can use wise,
although it didn't go for me last time with another TD and I had to use revolut

I managed to do a Bank Transfer in the end. I wish it was easier but now I'm looking forward to receiving my watch. Soon hopefully!

I've used both CC and Wise with Steve. CC is a little easier for me to use, but I did have to call the credit card company ahead of time and preauthorize the first purchase, but the other purchases went through after that. I used Wise one time because I bought quite a few watches at once, and it was easier for Steve that way because of how their CC transactions go through. They have been amazing to work with, and I should get my first shipment in the next couple days, then I have two more shipments waiting on QC.

Wise was a nightmare in my first order - for my second and third, I used PayPal, and it went very smoothly.

Refer to the previous post was also for me wise a desaster. 3! attemps and a lot of time for refund etc.
I used then CC but had to authorize it wirh my bank. Dont be suprised, the amount will be with the fees. If you buy 500$ they will Charge CC a little more

Just my opinion, but I’d advise against using credit. The TD’s are great at what they do but their sites are not secure at all. If you’re fine putting your financial info into a random Chinese website than you’re more brave than I am lol

Not terribly afraid of CC transactions, for the fact that if it's fraudulent activity. CC companies are quick to resolve the issue. New card, charges taken off. Done.
