your favorite online store.

I know it's cliché to call anonymous commenters shills, but that sentence has major shill energy. Who says "your favourite online store", honestly.

I also know I shouldn't "feed the trolls", but your comment did amuse me.

Me? Shilling for Visa/Mastercard? Oh, boy. I was merely asking questions, so I can understand "how can I move away from visa/mc, as soon as possible".

It's ~interesting~ cute that this is what you're getting hung up on.

Sorry, I said "favorite online store", mate ;)

Cheers

You don't have a favorite store you choose to shop if there are multiple options?
Would "Your shop of choice" make it any better?
