Considering the number of emails that are sent across the net every day, I think it is highly unlikely yours would be intercepted. Having said that, you could split the information up across a few emails if you wanted. Not that Paypal isn't an excellent solution.

I wanted to sign up for Paypal before. I did a net search on "paypal warning". You might want to check this out.

Pay Pal has a warning on their site saying that their site will always be "Paypal.com" or something like that.

Actually if you use internet banking, the number will show up as a charge on your credit card listing within 3-4 days. Thats how I did it Its still a pain though because you have to wait when you just want to buy, buy, buy now!

Hmm... Paypal was really good when you buy stuff through ebay... but when you become the seller ... paypal can be a real nightmare. After my experience...I've totally opt out to using both ebay and paypal !! Check out www.paypalsucks.com Lots of horror stories...

but as a buyer.. yah.. spend away and it shud be ok...
