i live in a country where you get locked up...
and as i say, i've had no attention that i've noticed, and due to where i live, i'd notice. we get the chopper in the sky, nowt has happened. and it's been rather a long time since that first seed purchase.
i ordered with my debit card, the name of the company goes through the bank as something totally different. they're gonna look at your credit history after you've been caught, or have enough suspicion or whatnot, and at that point, whether they find a transaction linking seeds to you or not, they'll have enough "warrant material" to just knock the door down and not bother with the seed order in the first place.. the police are not allowed to jsut go around searching any persons credit card hsitory because why not. there has to be cause to search it.
and you'll see i'm not the only one saying that they've done it just fine.
by all means use the pre-paid gift card method, it is undoubtebly safer, but that's not to say just buying the things as is, is not safe in it's own right. (not failproof safe, but you're not talking like a 75% gamble on you getting them without undue attention)
