Here is what eBay says on the acceptable modes of payments for selling fees ------------------------------------------------------- Choose from a variety of methods to pay your seller’s fees. PayPal: PayPal is a safe, convenient way to automatically pay your eBay fees. When you sign up for monthly PayPal payments, your invoice amount will automatically be deducted from your PayPal account each month. Or you can make a one-time payment using your PayPal account. Direct Pay: With Direct Pay, eBay will automatically deduct your monthly invoice amount from your checking account. This option is available to sellers billed in U.S. dollars with U.S. bank accounts. To sign up for Direct Pay , you will need to provide eBay with your bank account and routing numbers which are shown on the bottom of your checks. Or you can make a one-time Direct Pay payment from your checking account. Your payment will be posted to your eBay account within two business days. Credit card on file: Each month, eBay will automatically charge your invoice amount directly to your credit card you place on file (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover Card). Your credit card will normally be charged five to seven days after you receive your invoice. You can also make a one-time payment with your credit card. Check and money order: After they are received, check and money order payments take seven to 10 business days to process and post to your account. Please remember that this does not include weekends and holidays. Note: When making payment by check or money order, you must submit a payment coupon along with your check or money order and mail it to the address on the coupon. ------------------------------------------------------- If you simply want to buy and not sell, here is ebay's registration information"

You find almost one on every corner of the street. You don't need dollars, and the value of the dollar against the euro is still decreasing. Nice holiday"

Intrac cards can be used a merchants who take Nyce network. (May need to be activated by your bank) Even if the merchant takes another network. It still should work. They have gateways to accept each others cards. You would choose debit/atm and enter your pin. I read on another web site there use to be a dual use debit and credit card in one county but they eliminated that to stop the confusion because of the new types of debit cards. France has a deferred debit card. They don't double as credit cards in the U.S. even through they can work like a credit card. In the U.S. are debit cards with either MasterCard or Visa symbols work like this: If you choose ATM/debit button at the merchant. You would enter your pin. Some banks and merchants charge for the pin method. If you choose Credit button. You would sign for your purchase (some places you don't have to sign for it). You can also use them at atms by entering a Pin. You can also get a Checking account cash advance at banks if they take Visa or MasterCard. You can use them online or by phone at merchants that take MasterCard or Visa. You can also use them at merchants who take MasterCard or Visa but do not have a point of sale terminal. All methods come out your checking account right away."
