Ordering Something Online?

[WiiForgotten]

I want to order a DSI flashcard from Dealextreme
but cant let my dad know as he wont agree to these things


is it possible to create my own paypal account and add a prepaid card to that? Visa card to be specific

if so
anyone know where they would sell them
im in calgary

 

[ZER∅]

send me 100 american dollars and I will send you a DSi Flashcard.

 

[Joe88]

you cant add money from a pre-paid card or credit card

its needs to be linked with your bank account

or get someone to send you money on paypal

 

[WiiForgotten]

well that sucks
but some sites do take visa payment correct?

 

[purplesludge]

I think the sites on the front page do.

 

[Mangofett]

Just a heads up, but paypal didn't work when I tried to use a prepaid card on it, since it couldn't verify it (since it had no address attached to it)

Just have a friend buy it for you. And if you don't have any friends, get a cool relative to buy it.

Simple, don't tell your dad what it does.

My dad was the same way (I have my own PayPal now), I just never told him what they did.

The old saying still stands: What daddy don't know don't hurt him.

WRONG
I linked a credit card to a Paypal

 

[WiiForgotten]

is there any other way i can buy online
any other prepaid cards or something like that?

And if you don't have any friends

How does that work out? You have them deliver it somewhere else?

 

[UltraMagnus]

either
1) just tell him its to play videos on your ds
2) if you have a bank account, paypal can just use that instead of any cards.

Don't forget homebrew. It's for homebrew.

No, you just tell him its a game.

 

[Veho]

Maybe he doesn't allow ordering anything online.

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

If you tell them it's a special game you can't buy in regular stores, they will most likely believe you. That's the way I did it, and NeSchn and probably many others too.

thats the problem
he wont buy anything like that online for me
he always thinks its a waste
and i cant convince him on that


dont have to worry about the address its being delivered to

and im only 15, i got mainly cash
dont wanna link though

any other suggestions ?

 

[WiiThoko]

I did this once. I used a money order on one site, and asked someone to get a money order check thingy for me and I sent it to the site in the mail. I got my flash cart a week after, nobody knew.

Do you have any friends, siblings, or friends siblings that have PayPal?

Thats how I also used to buy stuff.
