Did you give them your credit card number? I have never conducted business with 2Checkout afaik. Since I don't have a business relationship with them, I didn't feel comfortable giving them my credit card number. So I created a temporary card number through my bank with a very low maximum which expires in a month to make my purchase. It seemed like a prudent move and was a very simple thing to do.
And fwiw, I used an email address I set up eons ago for this very type of thing. I give companies I don't have a relationship with an alias address connected to my "junk email address" (such as 2check@whatever). If I get no SPAM after a period of time and continue to do business with said company I might update my email address with the company to my real one at a later date. Again, a simple enough precaution.
