Paying on line

I operate an on line bank account but get very frustrated when I can't transfer monies but have to pay by credit card. Why don't vendors allow the transfer of money direct to their bank accounts so much safer and credit card details are not given over phone or intenet. Any solutions

    I thought it was safer to use a Credit Card for paying online than a bank account because of the protection.

    It is, the credit card company can refund your money if anything goes wrong then reclaim it off the company/person you bought it from.
