[champ_rock]

if it is possible please tell me how can i do this?

Contact them so they can adjust your account. I did so I can choose to pay my winning bids with credit card or paypal (payment is expected same day).
The only possible problem is for the signup if you don't have an account yet. It asks for a credit card. Drop them a note anyway, they are usually helpful.

thanks.. just sent them a email stating my problem.. hope they can do something.

Not much they will do. I too didn't want to use my credit card, but they insisted that to have an account, I need one to validate the same. After that one has the option of paying via credit card/paypal for the names.

paypal (payment is expected same day).

Max of 24 hours.

I doubt that as SnapNames will need to authenticate it. They will verify your name and details on the card. How would you have balance on a VCC? The reason I say this is suppose you don't pay for the winning domain name via Paypal, they will use your credit card to charge the same which acts as a hypothetication. Then if they find you are using a VCC, your account will be surely terminated.

Also a piece of information, don't ask SnapNames support whether you can use a VCC. According to my knowledge it is illegal. People use it for verifying Paypal and some day Paypal will find that and close all those accounts.

Why do you want to risk doing this? Just get a credit card, it doesn't cost a lot.

Play safe !

Aren't secured credit cards a dime a dozen these days?

 

[sashas]

Cant your bank issue you debit card? You can use that (I use my debit card mostly)

Not at all. There are banks which offer free life time credit cards if you are employed/self employed. If you are dependent[students/young], then your parents must surely have one.

This question gets asked a lot, in most cases some on here are too young to own a credit card.

Is this the predicament?

I am officially 18 and able to get a credit card but i have no recorded source of income since i am a student. therefore it is difficult for me to get a card

Please refer to my post.

Champ,
Ask your bank to issue you a debit card.

I don't have a credit card myself. I just use my bank's debit card.

If you're in the US, all banks will issue you a debit card (it'll also be your ATM card).

 

[Charley]

Certainly Yes.

Is this the predicament?

 

[sashas]

Also (again, in the US) you can get a student credit card without any sources of income or credit history. Try that...

I have my credit card verified there. But have never had any problems till now.

The best thing I do is I limit my credit limit from the bank itself. So even if I get the beating it will not be much. And I can raise the limit whenever I need it raised.
