I thought someone on here may be able to relate and could answer a question. After the PWTEES fiasco I’ve been trying to be more careful with spending online. Although fortunately I haven’t bought from PWTEES for years, a data breach could always happen elsewhere.
Anyway, a site I shop at doesn’t accept one type of credit card as a payment option. Sometimes I forget and put it in only to be reminded of this. But after the whole PWTEES thing I’ve been using PayPal with a linked card to pay for things. I did this tonight, but just realized the card that was used for the PayPal payment is the same kind of card that site doesn’t accept. Would they still take the payment?
I just looked at my online account for the card and it shows the fee as processing. Since it didn’t spit out an error message like it usually would if I just paid with the card directly, should I take it to mean payment will be accepted?
If worse comes to worse I guess the payment would just get rejected and I could pay through PayPal with another card when all that is sorted out. But I’m hoping it’s just accepted. Can any FANs set my worried mind at ease?

Any time I order through Paypal using a card, it takes a day or so to process. And every time I do, the website I order from only acknowledges Paypal for the order. As long as your order confirmation says Paypal, I would imagine it'll go through fine.
But yeah, those error messages are pretty immediate.

I got a confirmation that my order was shipping today. Not to sound like an advertisement, but it’s another reason PayPal can be useful. If an online store doesn’t accept a certain credit card you have and you only have the one card, but does take PayPal, you can just link your card to PayPal and still use the card.

Glad it worked out for you!
