It takes some getting used to, but this is the precise reason I use one-time use credit card numbers (also called virtual credit cards). Only a few card issuers offer this, but it has stopped cold the credit card fraud I used to experience from e-commerce. There are criticisms of this service [1], which I haven't experienced, though YMMV.
