    As far as I know it's credit card based only. However, if you dont have one you can top up a 3v card and use one of those with it.

    Ok thanks, I'll look into that 3V card.

    I don't suppose anyone knows a site where I don't need to use Paypal but could buy using maybe a bankers' draft?

    https://www.3v.ie/ and paypal is probably your best bet. Paypal will insure you and all that jazz. I wouldn't be too keen on the whole bankers' draft thing and dealing with Chinese sites. Not saying they're dishonest. Just a long way off if something goes wrong.

    I know a few people here use 3v. A friend of mine swears by them. They're free to sign up for. Get one in the post in a couple of days.

    You top them up more or less the same way you top up a mobile. Only down side is there's a charge when you do. I think it's something like a fiver.

    I was thinkin a bankers' draft sent to anywhere further than the UK would be dodgy alright.

    Anyway, just looking at 3V and it seems quite good.

    Sweet man, cheers.

    Would strongly recommend using Paypal. If something does go wrong, you can always file a dispute with paypal. Worst comes to worst, you get a refund from paypal. You can't do this with a bankers draft.

    See if any of your friends have a paypal account and they can place the order for you. Or perhaps your parents could let you use their credit card if they have one.

    Ya, I've sent off for a 3v card so I'll fund a Paypal account with that hopefully.

    Agreed. I've used PayPal dozens of times and only had to file a disput once. Got the money back in two days. Very safe and fast way of paying online.
