There are several payment options available, however, Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) limits your liability if your credit card is used. According to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ”…your liability for lost or stolen credit cards is limited to $50. If loss involves only your credit card number (not card itself), you have no liability for unauthorized use.” (FTC, 2004)

Keep records of your online transactions and review for monthly credit card and bank statements. Verify that charges made were accurate and report errors immediately. “The FCBA's settlement procedures apply to disputes about "billing errors" for open-end accounts, including unauthorized charges (you cannot be liable for more than $50 for unauthorized credit charges); charges for goods or services you didn't accept or weren't delivered as agreed; charges that are incorrectly identified or show wrong amount or date; math errors; a failure to properly reflect payments or credits; not mailing or delivering credit billing statements to your current address, if address was received by creditor in writing at least 20 days before billing period ended; and charges for which you request an explanation or documentation, because of a possible error. ” (FTC, 2004)
