I have discovered today that is a trading name for marks and spencer. It shows up on your cc statement for anything purchased over the internet and uses groceries as its category. Bit confusing; do not see why they have to use a different trading name.

yeah think that was worked out months ago

OK. This thread started over two years ago and it looks like people are still puzzled when they see M S E Commerce on their bills. If anyone in authority from Marks and Spencer is reading this thread, get someone to change it to M&S E-Commerce please. It won't need much more printer ink but the meaning will be much more obvious.

It would require clearing bank services to support the use of an ampersand in merchant DBA names though - there's a bit more to it than printer ink unfortunatley

M and S E-commerce would suffice. MSE Commerce still going strong!!!

I too could not recognise 'MSE Commerce'. This is not a suitable name for M&S. and is open to everyone querrying it with their card company. I have recently had fraudulent transactions on my credit card and this was one of many transactions which I was claiming no knowledge of. Had it not been for this web site, I would have refused to pay for it especially as it is catagorised as 'groceries'

this appeared on my credit card statement and i didn't have a clue what it was and couldn't find a credit card receipt to tally with it. i googled m & s e commerce, it took me to martin lewis site and i then realised from all the blogs that i had ordered some food from my local store! it would have helped if it had appeared with the store branch next to it! how would one know what e commerce was!

just caused me a huge panic. I was about to cancel my credit card when I thought of googling it. So glad I found this thread - so PLEASE don't remove it, old though it may be!
Really would have thought M & S would have got their act together by now - they must have had so many complaints

Yes. I just had the same panic. Googled it and Money Saving Expert was the 1st on the list.
Panic over it is indeed M & S (Marks & Spencer). Few.

Thought you'd been buying off Martin's ebay account

Glad I found this - had forgotten I'd bought a couple of greeting cards from them and wondered what this was!
