no sites use credit card payment ?

A lot of sites are going EMT, even preferring it. It's a way better system than paypal. Essentially it's the same thing, except paypal is cut out of the loop. The only issue with EMT is the daily and monthly transaction limits. But I still won't touch paypal again.

yeah, upon reflection I'd rather that. I have no problem passing you some information, but I'm big on supporting local merchants first.

It's not "essentially the same thing", it's completely different. There is protection against fraud. You can use your bank account or a credit card. There are many other reasons as well.

At least with EMT you know what the fee will be. Usually its $1.50 no matter how much you send. But there isnt protection if you are scammed however.

OP: hook your paypal account up to a credit card, problem solved.

Even better, hook it up to a low-limit (say, $500) secondary credit card that you ONLY use for online purchases.

If the card is compromised your bank won't lock your primary card (you know, the everyday one you're not using for online transactions), and if the thieves go on a shopping spree they'll bump into the $500 limit, which is fairly trivial to resolve with visa or your bank.
