The IOPs dont ever see your account info, and cant withdraw funds without you requesting this to be done. It used to be somewhat common practice to see IOPs accept only wire transfers, Ive done it a few times, without regrets. Wire transfers also used to be FREE at my bank, they are now 15usd or something like that.

I wouldn't do it. There are too many OPs with reasonable prices, good service and decent delivery times that DO accept credit cards.

Paying an IOP with a credit card is a little bit less risky than paying a domestic OP with that c/c; but they both can drain your bank account, if they're into crooking,

To avoid your account draining, you can pay with a credit card which has a definite amount of money assigned. Secured credit cards. Prepaid credit cards. It's a 100% Guaranteed Approval -- No One is Turned Down. There Are No Credit Checks. No Employment Records Are Required. All They Need From You Is A Valid Address. You Can Fund Your Account By Check, Money Orders, or Cash.

So, are you saying, djfrvr, that you can even apply online for such a credit card and you can give to the bank fake info on yourself and/or your assets together with a valid address where you'll receive your card? Doesn't that create the opportunity for fraudsters to charge items to that card beyond the limit, given the fact that the merchant won't know whether it's a real credit card or a secured/prepaid one? And what about under age kids who might lie about their age and use these cards on the Internet to buy stuff they're not supposed to have in their possession? Unless I am misunderstanding something in your post, I think banks should not be so lenient in issuing such cards in the manner you've described.

If I used this method I would open up a second free checking account from PNC or Wachovia bank and only deposit enough money to pay for my order. This way if it did get drained (unlikely) I would only lose the amount of the order...which would be the same as the provider not sending the medication.

I have heard that several major U.S. banks, including Bank of America, Citibank (in addition to Wachovia) operate subsidiaries that provide the mother bank an outlet to do certain banking activities. So I guess the bigger banks might work as well.

For some reason, I couldn't get my vote to go, but I wouldn't do it. That's just me. Besides, iKobo is now my absolute favorite way to pay. I wish everyone would take it. I will NEVER, EVER pay W.U. or Moneygram fees again!

I believe you are getting djfrvr wrong; s/he's talking about prepaid MC/Visa cards that are getting more and more popular today. While what you are saying is smth very different. Giving fake info on yourself and/or your assets (and incidentally real info of someone's else) to the bank will get you an unsecured, real credit card, not a secured, prepaid one. And once you have arranged for an address where to receive it, well ...

I like to use the sites that utilize Paypal, and keep a limited amount in my paypal account. That way, there is a middleman involved, and there's no direct access to the bank account. Second choice would be the credit card.

I have heard, though, that many complaints have been filed against Paypal; personally I would not go with Paypal.

You can always get a prepaid MasterCard card to pay for your meds, as it is bein' said here.
