let me know how that works out for you. I have gotten a one off number from my capital one acct before but that was years ago.

what about paypal?

They don't accept PayPal. I'm lucky they accept Visa. Most want Western Union, but f that.

Go to a store and purchase a temp prepaid Visa card .
Works perfectly fine and you won't have to use your actual card.
I purchase through China at times via third party websites and this is how I do it when they don't accept PayPal. Lots of people are refraining from PayPal because of how long payments take

Your bank should have an international department whereby you can wire the funds from your checking account to the Chinese companies account. You will be charged about $25-$40 by your bank. While the transactions are safe, just be careful that you don't get scammed as doing business in China can be very tricky. What is the total value of what you are buying including freight, duty etc? Do you have a way to verify the company you are doing business with their is legit?

To answer your question, the safest way to do buy something from China is to use a letter of credit in conjunction with hiring a reputable cargo inspection company, but the seller has to agree to this method.
