How do I pay for my order?Amazon.com accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express, as well as checks or money orders denominated in U.S. Dollars as payment for book orders.
You Can Pay Online:Credit Card Transactions are Safe at Amazon.com Books. In an article by Rob Pegoraro in The Washington Posts Fast Forward magazine (May 1996), spokesmen for MasterCard International and AT&Ts Universal Card acknowledged that to date, they knew of no cases of Internet credit card fraud. Statistically, its much safer to use your credit card on the Web than to use it in a restaurant or department store.
Amazon.com thinks thats good news, but they still take every possible
precaution to protect the integrity of your credit card information.

on the order formname, address, phone number, etc. is safely
encrypted.
