electronic signatures have not been court tested...
there's multiple reasons they have you sign a credit card:
1 ID
2 agreement to their terms...

i was linked to this thread on another forum and only signed up to post this, i'll probably never come back.
no. dont hand out legal advice or any opinion on anything legal when you OBVIOUSLY have no clue.
the definition of contract is, an agreement between 2 parties. a contractual paper is simply a contract that was written down.
in california at least, and you can look this up by googling "statue of frauds", a phrase im sure youve never heard, contracts need only be signed when the item to be transfered is over $100,000 or real property. which means oral contracts are totally legal and legally binding. this says nothing of provability, OBVIOUSLY if you have signed and notarized offers and counteroffers you will have a good simple time proving your case to a judge, but in the case of a $60,000 car signed notarized contracts are not necessity.
and onto your nonsense about credit card signatures. 1. very obviously a cc can be used even though it isnt signed and youre not going to get out of anything because you never signed it. 2. credit card receipts are signed so the merchant has proof that YOU were the one using your card. if your card is stolen and someone runs up the bill who pays you back? not the cc company or the bank, the merchant just doesnt get paid because THEY didnt follow procedure for checking the buyer's ID, OR you get caught because the signature on the receipt the merchant kept is the same signature the cc company or bank has on file
