It does nothing for me as a consumer and is just incredibly annoying. Telling me it's to protect me and make sure it's my card is rubbish, I know it's my card, it's in my wallet! Any site that insist on using it gets one try with an alternative card (Amex is normally a good one to use ;-) ) and if that doesn't work I simply don't buy. Easyhotel is the cheapest by far in London but I won't use them any more because they've implemented that infuriating crap. They've lost my custom and the last hotel I used cost well over £100 extra but didn't insist on annoying me before I even turned up on their door step. I refuse to use 3D Secure.

Do not mention Halifax 3D, the most annoying thing on the entire internet (and I'm including that bloody wizard in that too). It is not in the least bit secure, except insofar as it stops you wanting to use the website in question so I guess it's made you keep your card number to yourself. Please.

As Linzi said I simply can't be assed to continue. 3rd party checkouts are as exciting as halifax 3D secure. As Linzi said I simply can’t be assed to continue.

So many of them seem to generate errors especially if you're not using IE. On the odd occasions where i have to use one I never go back to the seller.

Last invoice period a guy purchases a suite, no payment for a few days, then comes on to tell me his wife purchased it by mistake and he didnt know about it, we agree to cancel only he hasnt yet, so £40 odd quid in FVF's has to be paid now and I have to wait until the next billing cycle to get it back...f'kin robbery... eBay, what exactly have I done wrong, please tell me? Bloody well said.

Personally I'd like to see eBay build out their checkout API so that all 3rd parties can get all the hooks they need to run their back end reliably and complete checkout but for it to run on eBay in as few pages as possible ("as few" meaning no more than 1 ;-) ) #24 I like Scot and I like marmite :-D I don’t like 3p checkouts though however much they may be a necessary evil for the few functions that can’t be done on eBay (or for those they perform better).
