hi
hailraiser,
i have been following comments everywhere
here,
here but the thing it took me this long to reply is because i may have a solution but first i have to convince myself that it will work and the fact that i should not mislead you
my 1st question to you ?
do you have a verified paypal account ? if yes then you can consider the possibility of upgrading your account through paypal not by using a credit card but through a
Virtual credit card.
What is a Virtual Credit Card?
A Virtual credit/debit card is a one-time use card which comes with pre-loaded amount and a few months of validity. With virtual credit card in place, you don't have to worry about using your actual credit card for making purchases online. Instead, this will be expired immediately after used and so there is no chance of misuse of this virtual credit card. It doesn’t exist in physical form.
You’ll be provided with all the details that a real credit card possesses such as Name, CC number, CVC number, Expiry date. The only exemption is that the VCC will be expired immediately after use.
