There really isnt anything to worry about. You are not held responsible for fraudulent charges. If you see them, you file a dispute and you will often be issued a new credit card and number.

At least if you use a credit card and spot it before you pay your statement. They stole the bankās money, not yours. If you use a debit card thatās a different story.

Sorry I didnāt notice that last question. I donāt have much experience with Pay Pal as a user but as a vendor we didnāt accept them because they wanted way too big a cut; somewhere around three times what we were paying to other credit card companies and we simply donāt have the margins to pay that much.
So I guess Pay Pal is fine so long as your chosen vendor supports it.

I buy a lot of my gear using PayPal.
Why? Because if Iāve ever had a problem with the seller PayPal has taken care of it. No questions, hassle. They just did it. Money back straight away.

Thanks for your comments. I had located alot of bad reviews from disgruntled Pay Pal users not getting their money back and/or getting a run around or poor support on the internet. That being said, your, Wombat-metalās , and my husbandās and alot of other peopleās positive experience with Pay Pal says alot.
@Linda if you think about it. PayPalās entire business model is to keep the customer happy.
I donāt need to use PayPal ever. I can simply use my credit card. But using them on Reverb makes it easier.
Also hereās how I use credit cards (Hello fellow Canadian btw). We have a couple of cards that pay between 1-4% cash back on purchases. That means every time I buy groceries, my credit card company pay us a % back.
Thatās free money. No ifs, buts or maybes - free Canadian cash. All you have to do is ensure you pay off the credit card bill in full every month. Or the balance gets hammered at 19% APR and you lose.
Live within your means (pay off in full without exception) and get a card with cash back to make free money.
Scotia Bank have given me thousands of dollars for free

If you are using Paypal, make sure to enable two factor authentification, and use a secure password. That is >= 12 characters, alphanumerical and special characters. If you want to only use alphanumerical, a passphrase for example: 24 or more. Most providers wonāt accept it though, because they are still like: we need special characters. Although longer is better than adding 1 special character.
Most credit card companies also use 2-factor nowadays, mine also sends me a message in their app if some payment was done which also is a nice security feature.

Thanks Barney (fellow 
, I donāt think anything is free. The cash back-they are making money somewhere to give credit card users monetary incentive. They are probably charging the merchant fees which in turns the merchant has to charge customer more for covering the cost of doing business or by some other means that the consumer is paying for in the end.
As for Scotia and the Big 5-they are not my friend. I do not support them if I donāt have to. I like Credit Unions better.
without exception!
Do you know where most of that free money comes from? Debt. The average Canadian is carrying a $4000 credit card debt per month. Thatās $4000 at 19% APR.
Thatās why I donāt feel bad about taking free cash back money from big banks. People live beyond their means and banks get wealthy from that.
Also our mortgage (before we paid it off) was through our local credit union and both my current and business accounts are through our local credit union. Why? because they give money back into the local economy and theyāre nice people.
But they donāt offer cash back and my fellow Canadians lack of impulse control is my gain. So Iāll keep taking the free money from the big banks.

Yes!
I am trying not to digress and I am trying hard not to get into politics as to reasons why many Canadians are in debt and struggling.
Yeah. No politics and no religion on here.

I would not recommend UG to anyone. I tried to sign up for a āfree trial offerā, and they immediately billed my debit card. I went round and round with customer service, even included screenshots from their site saying Iād get x months for free before being charged. They absolutely refused to refund my money. Luckily I paid with Google Pay, and I reported it to Google, and they reversed the charge.
I honestly wouldnāt recommend Songster either, as more often than not, tabs I found there arenāt correct.
Josh, of course, is a great source for accurate tabs. Thereās also a YouTube channel called CoverSolutions where you can get loads of bass tabs, and the ones Iāve played seemed legit and accurate.
Another great source is a site called chordu.com. That site gives you the (guitar) chord progressions for songs from YouTube. You can find a lot of songs on there you canāt find anywhere else. Itās not full tab, you only get the chords, but after taking BTB and training your ear a bit, you can pretty easily figure out a lot of bass lines if you know the chord progression.

Thanks,
What I am really wanting with a tab source is the ability to practice with a slower track and to be able to do loops.

I believe you can slow down and loop videos on YouTube, so I think you could do that while following along on CoverSolutions.
May not be what youāre looking for though. 
Can you slow down YouTube videos whilst keeping the pitch? Simply slowing down will drop the pitch as well.
Yes, you can. Pitch changes only happen when slowing down analog recordings. Digital recordings arenāt affected.

This is easy to figure out. Just go to YouTube and try it. I just tried it. No change to pitch. Also you can do playback speeds of 0.75, 0.5, and 0.25. Also you can speed up playback if you want to do that.
The katana:go app does exactly this and you can use it without having a katana:go
Just copy paste the YouTube link
