debit card question

Primrose

If you rarely use your debit care for big amounts it's always worth phoning the bank beforehand to let them know a big payment is about to go out, even if your card has a high limit on it. It's certainly less embarrassing than having the card rejected for a legitimate expenditure. Many banks will have a limit anyway, so it's wise to check beforehand in case the limit has been changed for some reason.

He was probably satisfied with the profit achieved.

I'd have got his agreement on price first, and then asked for a further 2-3% (his costs) off the £4,500, giving £90 - £135 off the price if I paid by debit card instead.

I would have paid £1 of the balance on the credit card though...just so I still enjoyed full section 75 protection.

Isn't the minimum transaction £100 for Section 75 protection?

Minimum value of the purchase. As long as the value of the overall transaction is £100 or more and any amount of that balance is paid by credit card, Section 75 protection applies.

Well, I've learnt something useful today! Thanks, Aegis!
