Personal liability

It is important to take into consideration that you will be personally liable in the case of fraud. We encourage you to become knowledgeable of the risks of accepting credit card payments online.

If you are selling home-made knitted socks, the risk is minimal, but if you are selling goods that can easily be sold on the black market (e.g. Apple computers), the risk is much higher. Reach out to us if in doubt about the risk.
