You might be able to get a Visa Debit Card. It works the same as a credit card for purchases except that you must have the money in your account before you spend the money. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

i've got one of them, works fine as eftpos or credit card.
if your > 16 then theres no problem getting them as i recall.
but i think you can do like bank transfer of funds into a paypal account or something too rather than using a card at all _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets

When i first got my paypal i had to rely on people paying me first before i had funds as you could only transfer funds into it if you had a credit card o a american bank account which is dumb but now i have noticed i have the option of using an australian bank account now weather they fixed there dumb mistake or its cos i have made soo many transaction with them im not sure. _________________ Tim Team Reaper.

Its because Paypal has a local Australian office as of last year. Makes Paypaling far more convenient . _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

@dyrodium you will be able to sign up then and use your bank account to transfer funds into it.
Note if you want to recieve credit card payments then you will have to upgrade from basic which is free to send and recieve to a buisiness acoount which is free to send but to recieve is 33cents plus 2.4% of whatever amount you recieve fee.
It is still cheap as having paypal you save an $8 fee for sending a money order to america or a $22 bank fee for transfering the money via bank and you can buy from any country with no transfer charge so its worth it. _________________ Tim Team Reaper.

In more detail.. Look at the date of the last post.. chances are, if its 6 months old, the poster is hardly waiting around for a 1 line answer from you..
I know its fun exploring the forum and joining in the conversations, but have a look here...
