Paypal/debit card

[Vendetta111]

Are there any sites that accept payments through paypal or debit seeing as how I do not have a credit card...

When transacting online, debit cards are generally acceptable as "credit cards."

 

[Vendetta111]

But what if it asks what type like visa, mastercard etc.???

Usually debit cards are of a major "brand" and can be used as a credit card.

Barring that, buy a prepaid card from any major retailer.

It also asks for expiry date and CW2 number, do debit cards have those???

 

[Musicroxmysox]

Yes, expiration date on the front.

Little numbers on the back where the signature is is the CW2.

Basically a debit card really is a charge card, that just has money attached to it instead of paying later.

Okay great and what about when it asks what type because it only gives three options "Visa, Mastercard and discover card."

My advice would be to go to a major grocery store and find the rack with the pre-paid visa cards and buy one that has the amount you need to spend. After you get it home follow the directions and register it. The screen will ask for your name and address. This is so when you buy something the site will know it's actually you and not someone using a stolen card. I use them all the time and have never had any trouble. You can even check the balance on the card from home.

When it asks for the type of card just click the icon. You have to put in the card number, expiration date and the three number code on the back of the card. After the card is accepted you will usually get a comfirmation email that you can keep as a receipt.

One other thing. When you buy the card at the store the cashier will activate it for you...but you must register the card yourself before most places will accept it.

I'll keep that in mind, but I'd like to buy one right now and I only have a debit card, has anyone else actually purchased videos with a debit card that could tell exactly what to do??? My only problem at this point would just be where it asks what kind of credit card.

 

[Vendetta111]

???.

Typically, you just select the kind of card it is. On the debit card I have, the mastercard logo is right on the front.

 

[xSamanthax]

Take a look at your debit card. Is there a visa or master card logo on it?

If so, it can be used as a credit card. Most of them do, but not all. And whichever logo it has it what kind of card you select.

If it doesn't, you will need to buy a prepaid card. Or find an online store that accepts paypal.

Okay, thank you very much.
