Short answer: Wish can be as safe for credit cards as any large marketplace, provided you use your brain as well as your wallet. They run payments through established gateways, but the bigger risk is sketchy sellers and sloppy account settings.
Use a credit card (not debit) or PayPal/virtual card, don’t save card details, enable two-factor logins, and watch your statements like a hawk with a spreadsheet. If a deal looks too good to be true, it usually ships from “Nope” via Slow Post and arrives as regret. For bigger buys in Australia, local marketplaces with clear support—think Tradingpost—are a calmer bet. Report any suspicious charges immediately and let your bank do the arm-wrestling.
