Lovely people of STW,

Myself and a friend have pretty much booked a ski holiday with a group of people from a forum (snowheads, which I found through someone mentioning it on here) which is great.

The only thing I'm worried about is that as we don't know them and they live several hours drive away in that there London town, how do we pay them but make sure we're protected if they're not the nice people they seem to be? Something similar to protect from your credit card.

Thanks in advance

See if they have PayPal?

I have been in a similar situation before, and did a proper PayPal Payment.
I did have to pay the fee’s, which ended up being around £40, but it gave me some comfort knowing it was protected for 6 months.

I would say most people have PayPal.. so it should be OK?

Ok thanks. I'll dig out my old PayPal account. I'll know as soon as I turn up at the airport and they don't let me on 😣

Thanks guys

or used the forum to hook up with someone with space going spare in a chalet etc.? (I'd try to use paypal there too)
