Ok... I decided to make this thread because I noticed some people can't buy stuff of the internet because they don't have a credit card.
So this is how to get things off the internet without using your Mom's/Dad's credit card.

STEP 1.
Go to your local store where they sell gift cards such as:711, Albertsons, Fred Meyers, Walmart, Walgreens etc.... And go buy a PREPAID Visa or American Express credit card.(The amount doesn't matter)

STEP 2. Registering your card
For Visa Prepaid Credit Cards: There is a small booklet thing that you should get with the credit card. Read it and it should instruct you to go to a certain website and register the card online with your personal information, so when you buy something off the Cube4You they'll know where to send it.

For American Express Prepaid Credit Cards- Get your credit card and call the telephone number on the back. Then some operator will tell you to dial your credit card number. When on your account on the phone Keep following directions until the creepy operator tell you to dial__ if you're a merchant.
Dial the number and she/he should say to talk to a representative. Speak to the representative and tell him/her that you want to register my card so I can buy items of the internet. Then tell her/him your information and then wait like 10 mins.

STEP 3. Ordering Your products
Go to Cube4You and buy a type C why not a type A because I said so.



Maybe an easier alternative if you are buying something from a smaller, more private, and closer business like Cubesmith.... The alternative is MoneyOrder
STEP 1. Buying MoneyOrder
Go to one of the places listed above (Not 711). Find an employee of the store and ask where they sell MoneyOrder chances are they sell it.
Ask where it is in the store then go to that place. Tell the clerk who sells moneyorder that you want x amount of dollars on the order. Pay the man and they should print you a freshly made moneyorder.

STEP 2. Filling it out
Go to Google and find out how to fill it out. I forgot how to that's why.

STEP 3.

Don't Use cash in the mail it's illegal according to may dad who is a postman for the USPS and been working there for 20 years. But i don't know honestly if it's illegal.

Sorry if i did horrible on explaining this...But this does work because this is what I've done and just got my first cubesmith order today.
 
Try getting a debit card. It's just like a credit card but you can only use the money you actually have in your bank accoint and can't get into debt.

I've had a debit card since August 2001 and was one of the very first Australians to have one.
 
Lol. I just got a reloadable Visa "debit" gift card like a week ago and bought cubes. I spent $94.29. :P I need to reload it now to buy more stuff.
 
I actually don't know if it works on ebay because I used the visa one and i think i screwed up something. But I have used prepaid credit cards on Penguinmagic and Dealextreme. I recommend using the American express one though.
 
You can use a debit card to join Paypal. I have a VISA debit card with "verified" status on Paypal. Paypal is the only way you can buy or sell goods on Ebay. Ebay just happens to own Paypal.
 
Well what about if i give you my Visa details and you can pay me back? long number 4775 8350 1204 4565 etc etc....
 
Ive got a visa debit card and its great for buying things online/verifying paypal.
