I just started college, so I'm in a much better position to spend money on frivolous music equipment than before (which accounts for my savings, I haven't been _able_ to spend much money in the first place).
So, what are my options for buying things over the Internet? In the near future, I'll have a credit co-card (can't be used), and a debit card (comes with checking account, along with checks). My main question is, is it safe to use the debit card for online purposes? From what I know, the credit card has alot more safeties in regards to bad transactions, stealing, etc. whereas if something bad happens with the debit card there will be serious problems, which furthurmore will be seriously hard to fix. So, is a debit card ok for online purchases, or would it be better to apply for a credit card and familiarize myself with the intricacies of using one safely and exactly how to pay off things brought with it?
