But escrow is not about security - it's about process, procedures and  
such.  Escrow is too expensive to be feasible for small transactions.

If you are this worried about "having your credit card out there" you  
must never EVER use it in a store where it's incredibly easy for a  
rogue employee (for example) to copy and abuse.

Also -- you must have a bank or be in a country with terrible banking  
laws.

In the U.S., paying with a credit card is basically the safest  
possible way for the customer to give a vendor money.  Even if the  
vendor occasionally prints the credit card numbers and posts them in  
their window.
