Having suffered the vagaries of using credit cards over the Internet and PayPal, with which I have had bitter experience at the receiving end as registrar of a conference that offered Paypal as a way of paying registration fees, I now do all of my by-mail purchases by sending a bank draft in the vendor's currency by special delivery or registered mail or priority courier. So far, for several years, absolutely no problems. A tip of the hat to government postal services. I must add that so far I have been fortunate to deal with vendors who supply what they have offered for sale.
