Seconded. I am very careful to make sure that I don't spend money unexpectedly in apps, and it can be pretty difficult. I'm all for any guidelines or regulations that make knowing when I'm going to be charged more explicit.

Payments should be client controlled. Rather than you giving online organizations your payment information, they should request payments from you and you could manually approve or reject them. You could give certain trusted organizations you trust an auto accept option (for instance monthly web hosting bills).

That's part of why I'd only use gift cards with very restricted budgets on paid software repositories.
