Answer 1

You could try contacting the seller to see if they would accept a money order.

Answer 2

Many on the internet allow you to send a money order via mail. Your best bet however, is go and purchase a "loadable" debit card. If you buy a green dot visa or mastercard, You purchase it via the money you have, like $80.00, you get home, call the number to activate it by talking to a representative, You are billed each month for things such as, withdrawal's and monthly management fee. You can have your employer deposit your check right onto your card, as they will give you an account number, "just like a checking account number" that he would direct deposit into. Or, any time you get some money you go where you got your card, and put more money on it. I love my card, it's a debit card, but a credit card. You have to have money in the card, to use it and you never become overdrawn that way.

Answer 3

Money Order. Contact the seller if that is not noted as acceptable payment. It will take longer because your money order will have to reach them before they will ship, but everyone wants to sell so they are usually very ready to take your money.

Note of advise: never give out a credit card or checking account # over the Internet. When you have that checking account, set up a pay pal account. That is the only place I would ever give out this information. They protect you in many ways. I won't even give out that info over the phone unless I have done business with them for many years. Even so, I would not give out the numbers over the Internet even if I have done business with the company.

Answer 4

If the site you want to buy from accepts Money Orders, that would be your only choice.
Why not open a checking account? There are free ones out there, and it would come with a debit card that would allow you to use it like a Credit card for purchasing.

Answer 5

Paypal has you enter a bank account but you don't have to enter a credit card. IF the seller will take paypal though.

It depends on what you want to buy and what the seller will take. For many online stores, you can order and send a check and they will mail your item once the check clears.

Answer 6

Some people on eBay accept money orders! That's probably the best you're going to get... unless you use mom's credit card and just pay her cash. That's what I used to do when I was a teen.

Answer 7

The only way you could purchase something off the Internet is if the company provides the option of "cash on delivery "(c.o.d.). Otherwise, you'll just have to be patient for a little bit longer.

Answer 8

There are still a few places that will ship C.O.D. but not many and you have to search for them. Best bet is to just get a debit card with a checking account then you cant over spend.

Answer 9

hm well if the website doesn't offer COD, then the only way i can think of is to buy a Gift Visa Card (I think national city offers them). You buy em with cash and they work just like a visa card, but there is a small fee (i think like $3). Hope this helps!

Answer 10

You can go to the " contact us, or about us" section of their website. You will have to print your order form then go to the grocery store or bank and get a money order for the amount you owe ( including shipping). Then just mail them off. You can also call them and they will tell you how to go about it, if they have another preferred method. ( A money order is when you take your cash to them and they will give you a check of sorts to mail out.)
