No.


No.  Paying in advance does not make you look good or otherwise raise your score.  And you are in serious trouble if you are posing questions like that; you need financial literacy--and fast!  Buying groceries with a credit card is not a good sign for someone of your financial profile.  This sort of thing is going to keep happening to you until you do something to improve your employment prospects/raise your income.  Remember what I said to you via PM; the longer you wait the longer you will be in this situation.  :(

paypal sucks. They only cover up about 150.00? or so if they even do a refund. Some punk basically stole my NX Nitrous kit. >:(

Because by using your credit card for small trivial purchases, it makes it easy to spend more than your income.  It is small leaks that sink financial ships so to speak...Also, if you get into a position of always having a balance due, interest charges work against you.  Also it promotes bad financial habits like not using your kitchen at home for most of your meals.
Of course to be honest, I did this very thing for over twenty years and my net worth is much poorer for it.

what does outsource mean?
It means sending jobs overseas to third world countries instead of hiring United States citizens in the United States...When you call the Capitalone 800 number, someone in India answers the phone instead of say a wheelchair bound guy in this country for whom that job would be a very good match... and a way to support himself.
