I see, but how do you pay for it? How do you know you aren’t going to be ripped off by the seller?

明白了，但你用什么付钱？怎么知道不会被卖家坑呢？

B

Well, the website handles a point system where if the seller does something wrong, people comment negatively and then you know that he or she may not be trustworthy.

嗯，网站有个评分系统，如果卖家有问题，大家就会给差评，这样你就知道ta可能不可信。

Wow, that sounds pretty safe. So how do you pay? Do you need a credit card?

哇，听起来挺安全的。那怎么付款呢？需要信用卡吗？

B
说话人 B

You can use a credit card or your debit card. They also let you use the PayPal system which is really safe and fast. I have never had any problems with someone hacking my information or anything.

可以用信用卡或者借记卡。他们也可以用PayPal系统，这个既安全又快速。我从来没遇到过信息被盗之类的问题。
