"Virtual credit card" is a service offered by some banks (including PayPal).
When you get ready to complete an on-line purchase, it creates a one-time
use credit card number, authorized for only the amount you specify.  Once
that charge goes through, the credit card number is no longer valid, so it
doesn't matter if anyone manages to steal it.
