From memory there was problems with fraud for regular credit card transactions for Candy Japan, so I wonder if Bitcoin would be even worse in this regard.

The candy Japan fraud was due to fraudsters using the service to test a stolen credit card to see if it worked. Bitcoin doesn't have that problem.
