True, like many functions of Calibre, it requires additional plugins. I found out recently - I bought some books from BN because I could not find elsewhere.
Anyhow, it took 10 minutes to setup. But I was already familiar with Apprentice Alf, so that's cheating

The credit card thing... well, that is BN for you. I am not sure it makes me any more uneasy than any credit card purchase online. If you think you are safe... you are just wrong.
