Well this is a tricky subject. Some may say paypal is the best, but i don't think i'd let my dollars sit there even for a few minutes. We all are aware of the hacking cases surrounding it.

Payment systems that are allowed to process credit card information adhere to the same high security standards (PCI DSS – the payment card industry data security standard), and use different technologies like payment gateways and payment processors to keep payment data safe from hackers.
 
I don't really see a question but I will say I do know little. I have a lot of experience with Banks. Debt, Credit Cards, and also third party creditors.

In the UK being from England walcott you will probability know you can reverse a DD (Direct Debit) and thus have the Funds refunded before the end of Business that working Day. The Banks are utter S*** and quite frankly I despise them and their Fat Cat Wallets. Their greed and their utter Crap they come out with on the end of the phone when you have an inquiry to make is half the time they fob you off.

Like I say I don't really see a question but I have rang the bank many times on many occasions and been told the same thing when I know they can help but in some cases for example I can't remember the name of the Department and they fob you off. I have had the Bank In particular put the Phone down many times on myself for kicking rite off.

Secure Payments tho on the other hand, if you authorize a Payment from your Account, then those funds being ear marked for leave will be in the hands of the Recipient to give you a refund if they deem it fit. I hate it quite frankly. I'm Paranoid by nature with various health conditions, and no one will go out their way to help anyone in this day in age. If you have Money and you Authorize a Payment, quite frankly its gone. You have to be so careful with who you give your Card Details out to. I still get Phone Calls this day and Texts asking me from two years ago to take out Pay Day Loans. Cash Door Set Loans. I simply put the Phone down on them, If its Private I don't answer. When I applied for one Payday Loan a few of years ago I had over 60 Texts in two days.

bit-coin with offline wallet.
 
I like Paypal as the seller doesn't get your bank info, just your paypal username.

That's a good point, but let's not forget how many times they were hacked - the setup is good - but there are tons of maintenance issues that needing be addressed..they've improved their security systems..especially in terms of logins and their company / server firewalls ( I have a cousin who works for PayPal ) - but it's still a little behind on some ends. Certainly not *anonymous* completely, as there are initial limits that will eventually require banking info to be entered..or card verification.

The good thing, it has a balance between convenience and security, with nowadays, probably more in favor of security.

Visited PayPal in the Omaha area a couple years ago as part of a Computer Science club trip when I was in college. They took us back in their server room and showed us the kind of stuff they ran - was pretty cool seeing that they have an on-the-fly machine to encrypt/decrypt traffic. Though they didn't really show us too much other than the server room - was kinda disappointed. Especially since we had just seen an entire data center at one of Yahoo's data centers just a few hours prior. Now THAT was impressive.
