Do it. I'm perfectly comfortable with services that give me the option
of keeping my credit card number on file. Just make it an option, and
make that you're doing it very well disclosed.
Actually, I find it difficult to believe that any business that accepts
credit cards does not keep a copy of the number for their own records.
And, the risk of credit card theft via the Internet is far less than
through ordinary retail usage. Even if the theft does happen, my credit
cards limit my liability to $50 at most, and $0 at best.
But my question is why? It looks like PayPal allow you to accept credit
card charges at no cost. Is there some disadvantage to using PayPal
instead? Is your credit card transaction equally cost-less?
