> In Europe it's more common to have an EC card, which doesn't have any necessary secrets printed in plain sight

This is not true. All you need to do online transactions is the number, expiration and CCV, all of which is printed on EC cards.

You think of CC cards but an EC card is connected to your bank account, so you require the bank account number on the card plus a valid TAN number or the pin number of the card.

Alternatively you need a SEPA merchant account, but running fraud on that gets you sued to hell and back.

EC cards do not have a CCV number.
