I shouldn't worry too much about that.

You buy Ukash for cash, give your friend the the code, he gets peds, gives them to you ingame.

No CCs involved, no cash exchanged with 3rd party for peds, no fraud...

No, those figures are just figures...

The charge is 3.5% or 3% can't remember off-hand, but the PED value changes because of exchange rates.

What you forget is that with Ukash you go to the shop and pay cash and then you don't have a £xx'xxx debt at xx% to pay off for the next couple of years, unless of course you clear your balance every month.

Anyway, it's irrelevant. MA were talking about paying someone out of game for PEDs ingame which might be obtained through credit card fraud.

There are charges levied on all deposits as the banks don't do anything for free.

Maybe MA charge an extra 1% or 2% here and there, but without knowing their books I couldn't say. What I will say though is that CC fraud is bound to happen here at some point or other and where would you prefer all the associated costs to be recovered from, the 'lootpool'?
