Web security is a very large and complex issue, one which I do not propose to be an expert in.  I have therefore hired the expertise of an outside company, Intellipay,  to handle secure credit card transactions.  When a customer presses the "buy" button, the customer is taken to another web site which uses an encrypted sockets connection to convey information.  A dialog box should be displayed announcing the request of a secure document.  Be sure to read the dialog box for the word 'secure'.  The 'unsecure' dialog box may look identical!

If you are still uncomfortable about handing out your credit card number over the internet, please feel free to call my directly.  I will be happy to take your order over the phone.
