Your question is not clear. Are you talking about a users point of view or that of a website owner who want to accept the payments? If it is a website, what type of users you have and how would you like to manage it - redirecting user to a gateway / accept the cc info at your site. More details needed if you are really expecting answers.

I'd say the most secure is to use a thrid party service, like Paypal, 2Checkout, GoogleCheckout etc. This way the security burden is past on to them and you are doing nothing with customer data on your site.

Usually credit card payments are fine with me. Paypal I have used and I think their customer service is rather poor but at least there is some protection.

This question is a bit ambigious, but if you were to take payments on your website then you would need a valid SSL certificate.

From a website owner/vendor perspective that would have to be wire transfer or Western Union, both eliminate the risk of fraud or chargeback.

From a vendor point of view I would recommend to offer as many methods of payment as possible as some potential clients might be unable to pay through the usual Paypal or credit cards.

It is probably cheaper to use a third party payment provider than get your own PCI solution. Even with the fees, you as the seller will save huge in costs. I actually like using Paypal for selling AND buying.

If you are looking for protection for both buyer and seller, Paypal is a great medium. But I've found in terms of whats users wants, its easiest for them to just do a straight up credit card transaction.

We are using Paypal and have had no problems at all. We love the way you can use gredit/debit cards with no paypal account, free stock control, and easy for overseas buyers to use as it uses their currency
