Just get any pre paid card that is Visa or Mastercard branded and you are ready to go. Then just load the approximate amount of the purchase you intend to make. That way, no risk of fraud

the Nakumatt global card used to work well but it has been discontinued, no new stock of cards. The I&M card works very well. Another secure way to do online shopping is to attach the card to your paypal account and use paypal to pay while doing the shopping..be careful of the mechanics of exchange rates when loading the card and when making payment..it can be shocking..

eBay tends to reject these prepaids, for some reason (caused me to be banned for late payment), so I resorted to paypal but one loses 4.44% to paypal and the exchange rate seems to be 109 to the dollar!!! SO I am thinking credit cards are the way to go

No, atleast for the platnum credit card but you should demonstrate that you have an income in a hardcurrency
