Hacked?

[cleoismycat]

I'm trying to place a bid, when I confirm it takes me to a new screen asking me to complete my credit card details for verification purposes??? Why?? i always use paypal and haven't even won the item yet. is this dodgy??
Thanks

Are you buying something like a knife which requires further verification?

actually yes, is that why?

yes I think so. It asked me to do it when I was buying a wooden scoop for a salt cellar :)

i think it's to verify you are over (whatever the legal age is for knives)

damn it, spent all weekend trying to work it out!!! thanks
