I've purchased a lot of stuff online and never had a problem. It's just as likely your credit card number will be stolen by your waiter or the person at grocery check out or by criminals rigging your ATM.
That said, you can always fix the issue like so: Buy a prepaid Visa or Amex. Load it up with the amount of your purchase plus shipping. Make said purchase with pre-paid card with absolutely no risk to any of your bank accounts or credit accounts. Alternately feel free to spend inordinate amounts of time browsing used book stores. I know I HATE doing that( he said jokingly.) On a related note, my kid now has a weekly appointment less than a mile from the biggest half price books in the city. I've been there every week for two months now and I have pulled some badass finds!!!
