Section 75 CCA and Neteller

Hi all, I want to buy something from a site that only accepts Neteller. I have been in touch with Neteller and they do not offer buyer protection like Paypal so I am wary about proceeding. The item is over £100 so I wondered whether section 75 might offer protection but I can't find any info on it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

    I had to Google that one, never heard of it.  Seems to be a money-transfer service?  So if you're not buying on credit, there's no S75 protection.
    Personally I'd be a little wary of buying from a site that only accepts a relatively obscure payment method.

    It's all going to depend on how it shows on your statement. If it shows neteller, then no. Retailer could well do.

    I would say odd's on that S75 would not come into play here.

    You have to remember S75 is not blanket insurance cover. So even if there is cover. It can still be rejected by provider.

    Just what is it you are buying?

    Neteller  is a e-wallet, not even a payment processor.
    Not only you won't get any protection, but, most likely, will pay cash advance fee when loading money from a credit card to Neteller.
