As far as not being ripped off, it is the same as sending a certified check by Fedex. Once the funds are sent, there is no guarantee that you will receive merchandise. Also, I am fairly certain, that there is no credit card protection, as many mistakingly believe. So, is it safer? No. Probably, riskier, as your credit card and bank account numbers are out there, although the sight is secure. That said, I have used it, without any problems.
