Q. Or should it be done by using Amazon Payments? I heard there was a possibility that they can see your debit card number, other than your name and address.

A. Seriously, you shouldn't use a debit card for online purchases, because it's UNlimited liability. So, if your number gets stolen, they can clean you out, and there's not much most banks will do to help. However with a REAL credit card, you are limited to losing just $50.00, if your number is stolen, and they charge against it. If you pay it off when the bill arrives, it doesn't cost you interest either.
