payment information seems too intrusive to send online

I want to add money to my skype account but everytime I try to make a payment the information required to finish my transaction just seems too intrusive. I've never had to provide PIN numbers and bank account numbers for any kind of online transaction. This information is too easily obtainable for me to type in online for any skilled hacker to access. Why isn't my credit card info with the security number on the back of the card sufficient? That works good enough for every other transaction I've ever made online. I just don't feel comfortable with the amount of info Skype seems to require for a 10 Euro transaction. Any help? Any answers on why they need so much info that if misused would give someone access to my account?

 

thanks in advance
