I've just had mine refused for an online payment so checked with my bank's
security people. It was used to try to 1 penny through a particular outlet
as a test so has now been stopped altogether. At least I know the system
works but I wonder if they ever track down who was doing it!

I have been selling and buying over the Internet for many years and
have had numerous credit card problems with both buyers and my cards.
I moved all my transactions to PayPal a couple of years ago and
haven't had a problem since.

Tesco doesn't do PayPal and neither does the company from which I was buying
some wine. I've used online buying for years, too - barely set foot in a
shop last Christmas - but this is the first bad experience I've had.
