First Post , so hi everyone!

A safer way to buy off a supplier is to use eBay with PayPal, get the supplier to list exactly what you are after on an eBay listing and if you buy through PayPal, you will be covered if the stock does not reach you, but be warned, depending on the status of the PayPal account you can be covered from £150 - £500.

but if you use a credit card, technically you arent covered because it is a commercial transaction

If the supplier doesn't normally use eBay you would be hard pressed to pursuade them to do so. By doing it the way you suggest the supplier would have to pay eBay fees.

Seldom does a seller agree to the buyers terms. Usually it's the seller who sets the terms and the buyer has the option of accepting them or moving on. No one ever has their arm twisted to make a purchase. (Except of course when my wife wants something I can't afford.)
