Using a debit card is actually a worse idea. Its harder to make fraud claims and get your money back.
I actually prefer using my CC over PayPal for online purchases because PayPal's dispute process is longer than any of my credit cards'.
Its hard to steal someone's identity without DOB and SSN information as well anyway. And no online retailer should be asking for those things.
Finally, your card info can be easily stolen in real life: evil waiters, evil cab drivers, infected card terminals.
