They are, at least in the EU. All transactions are under the same protection (why wouldn't they be???)

The UK isn't in the EU - and even when it was, the law is quite different. There is much stronger protection for credit card purchases.

Ok then, what's the problem? Chargeback, eat the $50 (or whatever the fee is over there), and don't panic.

In the US our strongest protections come from a law called the "fair credit billing act" which doesn't apply to debit cards, checking accounts, etc. -- only to credit cards.
