But escrow is not about security - it's about process, procedures and such. Escrow is too expensive to be feasible for small transactions. If you are this worried about "having your credit card out there" you must never EVER use it in a store where it's incredibly easy for a rogue employee (for example) to copy and abuse. Also -- you must have a bank or be in a country with terrible banking laws. In the U.S., paying with a credit card is basically the safest possible way for the customer to give a vendor money. Even if the vendor occasionally prints the credit card numbers and posts them in their window. - ask -- http://develooper.com/ - http://askask.com/ _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
