HELP! eBay payment issue

[LAWN BOY]

I'm very confused since I still have the issue and my card works on Amazon and eBay supposedly has an override on my account to override any restrictions whatsoever on their end. Payment info is the same as I used on Amazon too.

What makes a credit card less risky than a debit card?

You can have a credit card company stop payments, get you a refund, other stuff. You're essentially handing someone cash with a debit card. It's on you if there's a problem. Since it's an Ebay transaction you do have protections whether it's a debit or credit payment though.

You can fight charges (especially fraudulent charges) easier using a credit card. That is why I use PayPal as a middle man for paying for stuff. If there are issues, you can go through PayPal and have them help cancel charges or get refunds (when using their services payment +3%). If you just use your debit card, then you have to rely on your bank to back you up and a lot of times they won't especially if you get hacked.

I don't have PayPal. I just use my debit card which is my only form of payment.

You need to get PayPal

credit cards use the banks money for things you purchase and then you pay the bank back.
debit cards use your money for things you purchase.
when a dispute happens the banks are more willing to fight to protect there money than they are defending yours.
credit cards can be used as a safety against disputes and fruad.
