Also, what told you it was a smart idea to save your credit card number to their site instead of using paypal, or just putting it in every time you had to make a transaction instead of saving it?
My beloved PayPal? I mentioned them once in passing and now I'm having some sort of bizarre love affair with them? I created a PayPal account in response to what happened with Monoprice. I had no intention of saving my card information to their site. It was one purchase.
I'm not anywhere near as naive as you're implying I am. I'm well aware that every retailer has had problems like this, and unless it's on a consistent basis, I don't really care. What I do care about it is my personal experiences with them. I don't care how much you or anyone else trusts Monoprice, per my experience, I have no reason to trust them. Understand?

Again, this was my one and only purchase made from Monoprice. I have no reason to go back there. This one single retailer doesn't mean to me what it does to you. I don't know why you're taking my recounting of an unpleasant experience with Monoprice as some sort of personal attack on yourself, but maybe you need to chill, dude.
I'm not trying to start a debate, or shitting on something purely for the sake of shitting on it, but simply passing on an experience. Apparently that was just a dick-move on my part. My bad.
