no credit card = no cds :-(

[hutch]

I'm after a decent website, or store where u purchase cds , ie cash, or postal order, cause i ain't got a credit card, and all the sites i've come across require a credit card

I normally use SVP, but i'm after Taiyo-Yuden cds, or some memorex 1's.

If anyone knows anywhere, plz post. I'm based in london.

Thanks In Advance

thats somewhat importaint info to add to your request

[bigshotceo]

On a kinda unrelated topic, have you considered getting a check card? They're accepted at quite a few online sites...

[djmattyb]

Maybe you could get your mommy to pay and then pay her back.

or ...

just get a damn credit card!

Last batch of Cd's i got were Taiyo-Yuden's and i got them from SVP.. back in November i think. Might be worth giving them a ring to see if they have got any stock comming in soon.

Well, he did say he was based in London, which was a good clue.

SVP sell Taiyo-Yuden printable cds, they look much better than the silver ones in my opinion.

That's really helpful! Did it ever occur to you that there are lots of people who don't want credit cards for any number of very valid reasons? Also, he's not in the US, so that may make a slight difference. Speaking of England, it's not "mommy", it's "mum"!

In Ontario, Canada there is a city of London, which by Canadian standards is rather large.

So when you hear that the Queen is living in London, you think she's a Canadian? Let's face it, you didn't notice it and you're thinking we are falling for the "Canadian" story.

I live in Ottawa (Ontario, Canada). When someone says "I'm from London", I tend to think about London, Ontario. The guy who recommended blankmedia.ca probably also lives in Ontario. For us, it's natural to first think of London, Ontario. However, elsewhere in the world (such as in Australia) one would probably think of London, England, since it's bigger.

[tweedledee]

I lived there for years, so I naturally think London, England right off. OK I see your point.

Going a bit off topic boys, start your war in a new thread.

Have you tried looking on ebay ?, are your only payment methods cash or cheque ?, do you have a switch or solo card cause I am sure you would be able to use that at SVP or cd-rmedia.co.uk

[hutch]

Well it's nice too see my topic bein hijacked but anyway...

I added the london part about 5 minutes after my inital post, thats y BJ_M didn't catch it.

And to the person who suggested SVP, as the opoiuc suggests, they don't have any of cds i requested, plus they accept a postal order (which is um British)

Thanks anyway for ya help....

Not exactly what you asked, but maybe someting here will help you better deal online without creditcards

Do you have banks there that have the debit cards with free checking accounts?
I also refuse to have a credit card, I do use a mastercard debit card I got with a free checking account. Don't know what kind of banks you have there and they vary a ton here in the USA, but mine is totally free.

Life was a nightmare for awhile without a credit card, I buy a few hundred dollars of stuff a month online now. Just got to have the money in the account first

Buy now, pay now, no interest or credit headaches! Also normally no credits checks if that's a problem for some people.

I found many (but not all) online stores will take other payments if you call them. Might have to place the order over the phone, and they do an e-check type thing off your checking account.
Sometimes they have said add the items to the shopping cart then print the page, use that as an order form and mail it with a check or money order. It takes longer to mail an order but it's a way to deal with many companies without a credit card. I did that with some companies for awhile before getting the debit card.

I also have found a few places that do not like to take paypal, but have an acount and will take a paypal payment. You have to call or e-mail the sales department about wanting to place an order but not having a credit card. If you have Paypal?
Also many people don't realize you can set up a paypal account from a savings account, many people think it has to be a checking account. We just set up the daughter her own paypal off her savings, she doesn't have a checking account yet. Dumb bank won't let her have one till she's 18, but any age can have a savings account

If you find a company that has what you want for the price you want to pay, it's often worth calling about. Some have other options they don't post on the website since most people have credit cards. If they have a toll free number you can call, sometimes it's worth calling

[Gazorgan]

I cut up all my credit cards, but I order online all the time. It's called a debit card?

I don't know if your bank allows this but in California USA ... I bank with Wells Fargo.

To get a credit card ... I got a "Secured Credit Card". I went to my bank and gave them $300 dollars ... and in turn they issued me a Visa Platinum credit card. Been using it for over a year now.

I had to wait more than 2 weeks before I recieved the Visa Credit Card in the mail ... and get my $300 dollars back.

Other banks will issue "Secured Credit Cards" ... too ... Bank of America ... etc ... etc.

Great way to start your credit history. Wells Fargo has already contacted me ... asking me if want to switch over to non-secured credit card.

Having a credit card is very useful on the Internet ... especially when I'm buying stuff on EBay.

Two days ago ... I bidded and won ... a JVC GR-DVL820U camcorder[List Price $999.99] for $279.00 ... on EBay.

[garryheather]

SVP also accept Nochex, cheque and Switch.

Just order on the site and select to send the payment seperately.

- There are cardless online payment options. You register your account, upload it by a bank wire transfer and shop over the web. The point is that the shop you’ve chosen must register its own account within the same system, if they haven’t done it already. So you might have to ask them to do it - usually it is quick and free. As they want you to buy something, they will do it. You can try at http://bank.dukascopy.com/english/welcome/ I use them for online trading and heard nothing bad about them unlike Paypal.

Need a credit card ??

Go to the bank of your choice and apply for a secured credit card ... like Visa.

Walk in with $300 bucks ... and apply for Visa card. Wait about 3 weeks.

Your Platinum Visa card will arrive ... and with a $300 dollar limit. If you dont screw up and make late payments ... in about a year ... they will contact you for a unsecured credit card.

I know ... I did it.

AAwww..the joys of not owing £1000's to credit card companies...! I remember those days from my yout.

[SatStorm]

You don't need a credit card. A debit card like Visa Electron is more than OK for any action!

VISA Electron cards (debit) are better and safer Credit cards. The only minus is that they don't credit you, but from the other hand, they also don't charge you anything! You pay from what you have in your account! Empty account = no payment.
I prefer that.

[smearbrick1]

Hey... I know... I'll not help the guy a little more and give him more useless advice!!! Why don't get one of new american express gift cards?

Or... instead of bashing your head against a wall trying to find an online store that will take your moldy, sweaty cash... go to a normal brick and mortar store. I'm not too sure, but I think that is one thing that the USA and England have in common. We both have stores even if there is no Wells Fargo Bank who gives out free check cards with a free checking account, and can provide you with a secured credit card, which you didn't ask for in the first place.

[JSB]

In the United States, credit cards have certain rights that allow you to dispute charges. Debit cards do not!

First time you get screwed on E-Bay or a shady internet site you will be happy you didn't use a debit card.

Some cards with Visa and MasterCard symbols are not credit cards and will have payments deducted directly from your checking account. These are debit cards. Under federal law, you do not have the right to "charge back" problem purchases to a debit card as you do with a conventional credit card. Also, if a debit card is lost or stolen, you can have unlimited liability for losses if you do not report the problem within 60 days, which is different from the $50 maximum liability on credit cards. (Exception: the $50 limit applies to debit cards as well as to credit cards in Massachusetts.)
