Safer Online Purchasing and Transactions

Since we can purchase items online without having to go to the Department Store, there's a very strange thought that goes through my head. They can't see my face and I don't know which representative I'm dealing with.

How can it be possible to make any kind of honest transaction, unless you can match a photo identification to the card someone is using? Pin numbers can be stolen along with card numbers, and there's really no kind of visual verification.

So the best and most reliable way to conduct a transaction, is by using only a website that others recommend and that shows a "verified merchant" symbol. Also some kind of contact number would be helpful. The site should also have an affiliation with a merchant processing system, so you'll have someone to complain to, if something goes wrong.
