Foreign Perspectives

When you’re online shopping it’s not really a good move to use a debit card and you certainly wouldn’t want to be bandying about your bank account details outside your own banks website. But what if you don’t have a credit card or don’t want to use one?

Up to now the options have been quite limited but that’s changing which is handy with the biggest holiday shopping event of the year (ie Christmas) just around the corner.

One of the latest entrants to this field is ebillme.com which shields your personal details a whole lot more than any other similar sites that I’ve seen. There’s a two step process to purchasing via them: 1) order something from one of their retailers (there’s a reasonable selection now and you can expect that to grow) and then 2) use your own banks bill payment facility to pay ebillme.com . Needing to log into two sites to buy something might sound a pain but it gives a major increase in the security to you.

To spread the word they’re even running a contest with some pretty respectable prizes. If you refer to the URL of this post I might even win something too
