I know people who will never give their credit card details over the internet.

Yes main sites like Amazon should have decent security in place.
But I bought some printer bits from an internet firm which I knew quite well using card and telephone. Within 2 weeks the card had been used by some manky foreign student to pay off his London congestion card fines (3 x £150), a creidt card bill, his student fees and a few other things. £1500 in total. I think he may have worked for a sister company that processed payments for the internet company which I used. All because he had my card details and didn't need a PIN number if he used the card by phone. I did get the money back eventually but what a hassle. Cops didn't want to know even though I gave them a name and rough address (which I got from his college). So I'm pretty careful about who gets my card details. dl

The IBAN number is provided in addition to the bank details. But as I said the simplest method is simply to mail cash (registered) or send a cheque which will be made out in Euros and banked with one form to complete. dl
Les - every time you pay a bill by cheque you are giving total strangers your bank details, and signature.

I find it quite strange that some people refuse to give credit card details over the internet, yet they will quite happily give credit card details over the phone
