Yes cheaper is better but would you risk to give out your CC number to overseas company or PayPal?

I actually use a Debit card now-days, with an automatic decline of charges that exceed my balance...and I only put enough on the card to pay for the purchase I'm using it for,

 

And per their TOS - my debit card does NOT get charged a currency exchange fee when purchasing from overseas.

Debit card is a no go in my book. I don’t know about you or others, but I’ve heard so many stories once money get out of your bank account, it is a lot harder to get it back compare to CC or PayPal. 
If I shop online no matter here or overseas, only three company get my CC number, Amazon, Costco and PayPal. Other online retailers, I always pay with PayPal. I don’t like the idea of leaving CC info all over the places. 
Sometime only 3-4% fee better than headache later on.

Use a credit card and not a debit card. The protection from fraud is substantially better.
