The time is coming when I will feel forced to quit trading with merchants that are too cheap to upgrade their credit card readers and sites to work with the security chip credit and debit cards.

1. I still don't understand people's fears about sites other than those that either have or have access to money or financial records/other critical info.

Somebody who hacks into my eBay or other merchant account, pretty much any of my accounts, in fact, can do no more than either maaaybe embarrass me or pay for it with their own money.

2. How would a merchant site work with a card with a security chip?
