like i just tried. i read a piece of really exceptionally good reporting this month and i have a small budget for this kind of thing, so i went and wanted to send the publisher money, and they say they even have paypal! i can do paypal! but then there’s only a credit card button and i have never owned a credit card in my life.
and even paypal sucks! it really does! but the alternative seems to be “just don’t send money”
@skye Ouch that sucks. The #1 reason why I even own a credit card is dispute resolution... they've always ruled in my favor.
If you're not too concerned about the "worry they'll just take my money and call it a day" part, you might consider buying a pre-paid credit card at a shop. They're basically just gift cards, so you don't have to worry about credit, but they work everywhere a credit card does.
