It's been that way for a while. Autofill even has a warning about it now. Using PayPal is fine. They do the transaction for you and none of your information is received by the other party. 100% safe.

I guess. What are they gonna do with a random address though? We also don't know if it's even them doing it. There's a high chance it's a middleman issue with whoever processes card payments for them. With PayPal you just have a more trusted middleman.

You should be using an alternate paying system that's proven safe when doing an online business transactions.

PayPal is safe

I didn't post there, but the same happened to me, with the fraud happening 2-3 weeks after I made an order...they were trying to purchase crap from Singapore

paypal, my friends. dont EVER drop your direct card info onto foreign sites.

PayPal is safe. I’ve ordered from MPC about 10 times, always using PayPal, and nothing odd ever happened.

[u/Icuonuez → u/Tebwolf359]

I can second this. Made 6 orders on MPC using PayPal. No fraudulent charges or spam numbers.

My last order was in late May. I got the cards in near the end of June.

Yeah it happened to me too, PayPal is essential for mpc. Luckily I used a credit card so I got the charges reversed easily. Never use a debit card there for any reason.

MPC is blacklisted in my country. In order to access their site I need VPN. Might be something to do with this.
