I do not have a credit card is there an option for people that don't have credit cards like maybe paypal,debit cards, or prepaid credit cards.

you could use paypal and generate a one time credit card number for your paypal account.

Hmmm, probably a catch 22 for you. With Paypal, you need a credit card to generate a disposable credit card. Maybe you can open a Paypal account with a debit card? Do a search to find out.

I'm amazed at the amount of mis-information. You don't need a credit card at paypal to generate a disposable card, simply go into paypal and do a search on paypal plugin. you just download the plugin and it will generate a secure card for you to use based on the balance in your account. I've done this for years at places that don't accept paypal. it will even prefill the form with the 'generated mastercard number.

[Edited] You are correct, one could use the Paypal plug-in...if it was still available. However, it seems the plug-in is no longer available. See paypal forum https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Pro ... /6395#M583. So the OP is out of luck there, if he or she doesn't already have the plug-in, they can't get it.

If it was available it is only available to paypal customers in the US. For all of us outside the US, we never had it.
