i bidded on an item on ebay before realizing that they wanted the buyer to pay w/ a credit card....after realizing it i am afraid that i'll be the auction winner because i dont feel comfortable giving a stranger my credit card info.! i dont think i can retract my bid so can anyone explain to me how paying with a credit card works and if the seller will have access to my credit card number?? thanks sooooooo much.

The seller will not accept Paypal; only a credit card.

No it's not safe to pay with a credit card on ebay, use paypal (seller will not have access to your credit card number).
See Paypal tutorial > http://www.blogadr.com/tutorials/free-paypal-tutorial/

if seller do not accept paypal, for me i'll forget about the bid.

As long as you use PayPal, you will have no problem. We have made several purchases on ebay and have a PayPal account. There have been no problems. The seller does not have access to your credit card number.

It is safe if you use PayPal to make your Payments. Go to www.paypal.com and create an account there. Register your credit card on there or you can also use a checking account to make the payments. After you have done that, it will keep your card on file so you can login and make your payments from there in the future.
Once you have a paypal account, if you click on the Pay Now button within Ebay and use the PayPal option it will have you login to your paypal account and send the payment.
Good luck!
