I've been looking for a safer way to pay for online purchases for about three years. Yesterday I was told about a way that looks good and, since a Google search turned up a relatively small number of hits, I thought I'd pass it along. The name in the URL is vanillamastercard. It is a prepaid card in $25, $50 and $100 amounts and the site seems to say you can give as little as your zip code or postal code for the seller to check for confirmation. You seem to be able to also supply your address or name or email address and that reads like it is optional. The 'https' site is a bit tricky to locate but there are links to it on other sites that describe it. Cheers, sword
