I looked at this before, a very nice service. However for small items that I tend to buy the pricing is rather stiff. But a very nice service indeed.

I'm also trying to set up a paypal account. I know that paypal accepts debit cards. But your debit card needs to have the visa or mastercard logo on it to function similarly to a credit card. Mine doesn't at the moment and I'll be going to the bank to sort this out at some point.

Also, your address on your paypal account must match that of your bank account otherwise your verification won't work.

If it has Master/Vista card logo on it; its a cheque card not a debit card; debit cards are Visa Electron - if i'm not mistaken!

Visa's debit cards are indeed labeled Visa Electron, while Mastercard's debit cards say Maestro under the logo.

Nedbank customers can use their debit cards for online shopping.

A lot of EU banks introduced this function last year. I'm hopping over to Nedbank if the other 3 big banks don't catch up this year.
