Say what?
Dispute - How is this any different than today. The credit card company is the arbitrator. Also, will this new arbitrator process in bitcoin-land cost me less than in credit-card land? Also, where is the improvement on the status-quo in this new scenario??
Secure - I concede that what you say sounds possible. Perhaps with a nice UX, but I don't see anything like you suggested available today. Also, how much will this online service cost? Will it be cheaper than government-backed money (ie. Chase/Bank-of-America/Credit Union/etc).
Again, all the solutions I see to have bitcoin lead to mass adoption are solutions that seem to add costs that will lead it to be no better than using current infrastructure.

Regarding disputes, the difference is that the arbitrator isn't involved at all if there's no dispute. He's not taking a piece of every transaction whether there's a dispute or not.
