Payment concerns with reputable dealers

[Seabadger]

Hi all, long-time lurker but I think this may be the first time I've posted.

Quick query - I've bought from two reputable dealers on here before and been very happy with the service and product on both occasions. However, in the past both those dealers accepted Paypal but they're now credit card only. Am I being overly paranoid in being concerned about this?

Just to stress, I am happy to shop with the people I've dealt with before, but am worried about my card details ending up misused due to circumstances beyond their control.

All opinions more welcome.

this has been discussed in a couple threads (the search function should find them quickly); most credit card companies offer "single use" numbers to keep your actual credit card information safe.

Apologies - I know it's been covered to some degree before having lurked for a while, but hadn't seen if there was a definitive opinion on the subject. I'll have a look at single use numbers - not something I've come across before.
