Why scares you? When you hand your credit card over at a petrol pump,
restaurant do you really know the people swipping your card? In a
restaurant they walk of with your card, and then come back a couple of
minuites later, plenty of time for them to get your details, including the
last 3 digits on the signature strip.

If you do not auhorise the transaction, you will not to pay a single penny.
You are protected by the law. I agree with you I would never give my
details out like this. But giving them to a website, I would have no
problems.....if the goods didnt arrive I get my money back, (from the credit
card company). If the goods are not what was advertised, and the site
doesnt give me a full refund, I get a refund (from the credit card company).
Paying by credit card is the safiest way of paying.

I try and pay for everything by credit card, its then actually recorded for
your own records, and its easy to get the money back from the credit card
company if things do not arrive.

It made me laugh when a while back credit card companies were advertising
that there cards are 100% internet safe.....fraud proof (I think barclaycard
are running a similar campaign currently).....by law all credit cards offer
this protection...they have to.

There are far more important things to worry about, than somebody getting
hold of your credit card details....like the sky falling on your head!!
