At my house no one in my family will buy me stuff off online even if I give them the money upfront so I was wondering if there are any ways I can use to buy stuff off online I heard you can get some sort of giftcard that you can use as a debit/credit card but don't know where to find one so if someone could help I can finally order some stuff off online

PayPal used to have some way to pay for stuff online with cash and checks. I don't know if they still do.

Otherwise, gift cars like iTunes music cards will always do the trick.

There are some pre-paid cards that can be transferred to paypal I think. I see them everywhere.

Pre-paid cards, yes. I think there are ones that function the same way debit cards do, except once you use them up, they can be disposed. Don't think there is a need for PayPal account setup. I believe you can find them at most retailer stores, as well as large supermarket chains.

Is there any website in particular you're looking to purchase stuff on or is it just online in general?

Does anyone know of a shop in the UK that sells these? I haven't been able to find any online.

I am wanting to buy from scan.co.uk and greenmangaming.com both are great websites and have the lowest price for the stuff I am after.

Are you saying that I can use an iTunes card as a credit card?

No, buy an iTunes music card a physical store with cash. Then redeem it for stuff on the iTunes store.

Don't know of any offhand, though I could almost swear you can get them here in Ireland. Have you tried googling it?

If you don't find any shop that you can purchasing a pre-paid card in, you could always add to your Christmas list if it isn't something that you need right away.

I'm part of a site called swagbucks...it works like a regular search engine, but you have a chance of winning "swagbucks" (the sites currency which you can use to buy items from their store) when you search with it (among other ways of earning swagbucks)

Also..it isn't a scam...I've bought an item from it before and got it about a week later. So it is legitimate

Man...I sound like a scammer...
