    If you're non-resident in the US, and want to buy paid apps/songs from iTunes/apps store can you use one of those disposable prepaid credit cards you can buy in shops in the US? Is there any other verification needed?

    I often wondered the same myself.After googling tonight it looks like itunes don't let you use prepay credit cards as they don't process correctly.

    Taken from letter sent by itunes in response to a customer asking them why there was a problem with his order after paying with a prepay cc.
    I did an extended research on your issue and related details and I found that the iTunes Store terms and conditions state to not use pre-paid credit cards as they do not process correctly. We have not received the payment for this order hence its showing as bad credit on your account.

    So, it is possible to buy paid apps/tunes from US iTunes any other way? Using prepaid Itune cards I suppose... which you can buy in the US.

    I've used this seller a few times. He usually gets back to you with the code about 20 - 30 mins after paying by paypal:
