If you are like me, you are very leary about giving out personal information on the internet. I solved this problem for my Ebay buying by using a debit card along with PayPal. I went to my local bank and got a debit card. These cards are accepted anywhere just like a major credit card would be since they are from the same companies and carry their logos. With a debit card though you put the money in up front and then draw from your account. It is very much like having an electronic checking account. I only keep a low amount of money on my card at any one time. This limits How much damage a person can do if they got ahold of your account number. You can deposit more money on your card whenever needed. With PayPal, you give them the information one time when you set up the account and they dispense funds on your say so. You never have to give your account number to anyone else. This protect your personal information. So this way you don't have to mess with getting a money order or writing a personal check and then mailing it. Your payment to a seller in instantaneous. There is no wondering if the seller got your payment yet and the seller isn't wondering if you are ever going to pay. This in turn speeds up the delivery of the item you purchased. It is a win/win situation for everyone. Try this and see if it doesn't simlify your purchases.
