If you bought something on eBay there is no way the seller gets your CC
info.  You can prove this to yourself by selling something on eBay and then
buying using a different account

The #1 method for CC number text is to hand the card over to a waiter to
pay for dinner.   If the guy is smart he never uses those number himself
but sells them in bulk.  The number could trade hands a few times before
they get to China

I don't worry to much because the bank will reverse fraudulent charges.
