Using Debit/Credit Cards or PayPall to buy equipment?

[Biggins]

Is this a safe thing to do or will it be a flag to a card company? Paper leaves no trails and tells no tales after all.

Thanks for the advice.

depends on what your buying. Just scales or papers or pipes, I dont do it but i think you would need to be buying some big quantities or large machines to raise suspicion but better safe then sorry.

ya not that great of an idea, i was also scared about buying some seeds online, but people told me that the pigs have better things todo! but ya man im just as curious as you are

Like soobie suggests, credit card companies and the cops have better things to do than worry about the purchases of one individual. They worry more about your electricity usage, but that's not even an problem for an individual growing for his own use.

I personaly don't do it, I use money orders or cash, takes longer but less to worry about. I hear prepaid credit cards work well for international purchases and domestic.

As mentioned before, you should be ok unless your buying everything all at once like:

Lights,scales,grinders and other related mj utilities

PrePaid Credit Cards are the safest way... Or you can use your credit card and have it sent to a different address... I Dunno, just be safe and smart in whatever you do, ya digg..

I have heard that credit and debit card companies sell their information to the government, so if you are buying lights, ferts, soil, and most importantly seeds there is a possibility that you could get busted. Like someone has already said, I would either pay cash, or buy a debit gift card so it has no link to you.

Credit card companies sell there information to however wants it.

Like the government has time to sift through an innocent (mostly) guys bank records. They don't even have time to do their job properly. Until they get many more tax dollars and can start the STOPS (Sifting Through Ordinary Peoples' Stuff) program, you've got nothing to worry about. Now once you start getting bigger, and selling to a bunch of people, then you have to worry about your power usage. In that case, yes, you would need to worry about paper trails.
