How do you feel to it?

If they have no malice intention of asking for a favor for me to pay their purchases on line i will do it for them. well they are friends and I am great with friends. However, if this is the reason, just scared... No way, why will i risk myself if that is not my purchase anyway. Totally selfishness. not so good friend, user and abuser. sorry I am too frank.

Yes. don't like like this kind of thing.I would pay the bill by my self.It's ok if my family member ask me to do so..I'm agree with you that to do this is selfish .

Hi ! If my friend does not have a credit card and the site only accepts a credit card for on line purchase, I would not hesistate to help him. However, if Debit cards are also accepted for on line purchase on any site and my friend has a Debit card, I would ask him to use his own card.

Oh, yeah. I hope they won't bother you. What if the site is only a scam, are they still going to pay you? Sometimes even they're our dear friends, we should not let them use our credit cards. They should have their own. Don't let them use yours. Happy mylotting.

Youless, in this matter i think being very careful is the best solution. In fact, it is no harm to help your friend paying online, provided the site is not scam site. Another thing is, they must pay cash directly to you. And of course that person must be a very trusted person and we had known them very well. I have a colleague before who always ordered things and even purchase air-ticket online, asking me to pay on her behalf first. Later, she paid cash directly to me.

Well, If I were on your shoe, the feeling is mutual. You have all the right anyway to refuse their requests. But if they really are a good payer and they are not abusing you I think it will be tolerated.

I personally think it's a cheek! If they are worried about the safety of online banking and yet they are perfectly happy for you to use online banking? I would also feel annoyed having to purchase my own gift even if my friend will give me the money for it, there's no thought, even if you do do it, how likely is your friend to give you the money, they'd have to be an extremely reliable and honest friend. I agree with you my friend, it is very selfish.

I have done this, either using a PayPal account or a "disposable"credit card, that was prepaid. I do not remember, because it was only one time and it was a long time ago. I alwo had the time and patience to find the exact item she wanted. She was a very close friend and one that does things for me as well. She has now gotten comfortable with online shopping herself. I would say the other thing would be if they would pay me in advance if it was not as close a friend.

I kind of feel the same way and think that the older people seem to think this way. I try to teach people like that what they need to look for in order to be safe online. Maybe take your friend aside and show them how to do it, maybe they just really don't know how.

Another reason might be that their credit isn't good so they can't get a credit card. That is why I can't just immediately but something and I am grateful that I have a friend that if I needed or even wanted something online, she would help me out. Now I do have paypal and a prepaid credit card, but the problem is, if I don't have the money in the account, it can take anywhere from 3-8 business days to get the money and if the item is on sale for a limited time, then I'd loss out. Just another point of view that sometimes it isn't because someone is selfish, but they can't.

It only makes sense if your friend knows that you are already buying from the site and wanted to leverage on your reputation on the site to get discount. However, if it is a new site where you need to register, I think it is very selfish of your friend to impose on you.

i can do for my friend ,i wont be holding back and being so absurd selfish,i would say that is fully selfish behaviour with contempt

ohh if that's the case ,then i wont pay for them. But id the reason is not that then i can think of paying the money.

yeah that is really true.. even though they assure you that they gonna pay it`s still bothering that you have a credit and it`s not yours.. it is really selfish.. a credit card is for personal use and it was not made for your friends. after all you are the one who is responsible for it..

I have a friend who asks me to buy her things from Amazon all the time. She doesn't have a credit or debit card to link to her account. Even if she tried to use a gift card, she can't do it because they want her to have either a credit card or debit card stored in her account first. So she gives me all the Amazon gift cards she earns on Swagbucks, and I order whatever she wants and have it sent to her house. I don't think it's selfish of her. She prefers to use cash instead of having a card, and she knows that I do a lot of shopping on Amazon. Sometimes I have to wonder if she just wants me to do it because she knows I'm a Prime member and I get free 2-day shipping... it saves her money, too.

Hi friend, if my friend is my best one, i will help him. I had experience with online shopping and don't afraid with online payments. I am buying things from genuine sites, i will suggest my friend to buy things from good sites and help him for the payment. As a friend we must do this kind of timely help to our friends

There is something fishy about it and i would not like it either. If they really wanna buy a gift for me they better do it with their credit card and if not buy it from the shop. I would not even have a gift from them if they are so ignorant and want to take my credit card for some testing thing. It is selfish for them yes and they are not your good friends. They want to take advantage of you. Be careful of them. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead..

It's not reliable. You should look carefully before you buy s.th.
