I use visa gift cards, buy it for the amount you want to spend, plus a fee of course, about 3 or 4 dollars. I've had recurring or monthly charges online in the past that when i cancelled them they still billed for the next month or two. With the gift card even if they're shady and try to get something extra out of you they can't because there is not enough left.Do you make purchases from United States online stores? How do you make payment? Credit card? Paypal? Also, how does Paypal work?

Don't do it. You can find it somewhere else.The Chicago online vendor said I have to place the order online and offer 3 methods of payment: Credit Card, PayPal and Google something.
Thanks. What is the process for signing up with Paypal? I made a few online purchases from Future Shop here in Canada and paid by credit card but this is an American online vendor and I don't know its reputation (unlike Future Shop).You need to sign up for a Paypal account.

Both Visa and Master card offer these and they come in varying degrees of 'anonymous' and 'no-credit check' (if you need those 'features') depending on the vendors. These are all I use for on-line shopping and I've never had a problem. They do a very good job of insulating you from any problems. Frankly, I'd worry far more about giving your card to any minimum wage service / bar workers for relatively small purchases (unless you have an established relationship with the given employee).I use visa gift cards
With that being said, on small and irregular purchases Paypal will probably be fine, but you have been warned.Top 3 PayPal Questions :
