Online sofa purchase

Hi everyone.
I'm looking at purchasing a sofa online this week and they have a couple of payment options available.
I'd just like to know which would give me protection in case its never delivered or is faulty etc.
I can pay using a debit/credit card or PayPal.
I have a debit card, a pre paid credit card and a PayPal account. Which one is safer?
Thanks 😊

Credit card every time. If there's any trouble, you can make a claim under Section 75. I've done that before and was so grateful I'd used my credit card. For goods over £100 that is.Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts.

Do you have a non pre-paid credit card? If not your pre-paid credit card gives you chargeback protection, same as your debit card.
