Debit card sales are similar to credit cards but they aren’t credit sales.  Basically, the purchases you make with a debit card are like electronic checks.  The purchase amount when the debit card is used results in a direct debit from the savings or checking accounts to which the card is connected.  The spending limit on a debit card is set by the available cash in your account, again it is clearly not a credit transaction.
