.cpn .paymentPage .payment-fire .right {
font-weight: bold;
text-align: right;
position: relative;
margin-right: -27px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
Is the margin-right: -27px bad practice vs margin-left: 309px;

negative values for margins are just fine. – Fabrizio Calderan Nov 06 '14 at 12:35

it is perfectly good practice if it is what you need. – Gabriele Petrioli Nov 06 '14 at 12:36

A lot of what we do in CSS wouldn't be possible without negative margins/padding - see the above linked answer for more. – Shawn Erquhart Nov 06 '14 at 12:37

No, not at all. It's a useful tool that is as valid as having positive margins.
Other properties where you can't have negative values do nothing - e.g. negative padding or font-size, so don't worry, negative margins are fine!
